RE: Subject: RE: [RC] Rehydrating your horse's skin and coat - Kristen A Fisher

Yes the study about skim tenting is here:

I am going to try Karen's suggestions as we have been having issues with our
horses arm pits swelling and pooling lymphatic fluid, sometimes with skin
irritation, after certain rides - it prevented us from riding the 2nd day
this past weekend. The only common thing we can think of is this has
happened after rides with significant road mileage [sandy or caliche roads,
not black top].  So maybe some skin protectorant would help, especially if
it was goopy and likely to attract even more junk to the area [like say
Desitin].

Beau sometimes does not do well with the skin tenting, when 
all the other dehydration indicators are perfect. Wasn't there 
a study about skin tenting not being a reliable indicator of 
hydration?  I imagine that this could only be improved if I 
applied this stuff!  Maybe I could have improved that vet score....
