RE: Subject: RE: [RC] Rehydrating your horse's skin and coat - Kristen A FisherYes the study about skim tenting is here: http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=11735 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].

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.... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
