RE: [RC] Skin tent study - Kristen A FisherKathy - I am inclined to agree with you - my guess is that the study is about horses in general. We all know our endurance horses are so eager to move out and their work load so intense that they can neglect their own needs and get into a deficit. But a horse sitting around in a pasture or stall probably won't :) Kristen -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Mayeda [mailto:klmayeda@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 4:16 PM To: Kristen A Fisher Cc: Dream Weaver; ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Subject: RE: [RC] Rehydrating your horse's skin and coat The only problem with the study is that it isn't my experience. My horse does not stop to drink water for the 1st 25 miles of an endurance ride and he sometimes gets into deficit. No matter how much cajoling and shoving water into his mouth with a scoop he sometimes refused to drink. But he could still be pretty hydrated and not do well with skin tenting, especially on a hot dry day, so that part I believe. That's why I thought the aloe vera could soften his overall skin texture. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
