	My horse has twice now produced a "second sweat", due to coming in 
too fast and not cooling down properly.  In both cases, I had a wool 
cooler on him and he felt dry and warm underneath it; the sweat was 
on the outside of the cooler.  However, in both cases he was 
shivering, in spite of apparently being "too hot".  Pulse recovered 
(down to the 30s), eating, etc ok and looking happy enough, but 
shivering.  Both rides were pretty cool--maybe 40-45' F.
	Anybody have any thoughts about the shivering?  Frankly, it scares 
me.  (but then I scare easily!)  Obviously I need to either come in 
slower, cool out better or both--I'm just concerned that there is an 
additional element I'm missing.
