Re: [RC] Black IS way hotter - Steph TeeterI really don't think color makes much difference. My best ever performing horse was black - incredible recoveries despite being big bodied.And for what it's worth - I have a dark bay that tends to overheat (he's big boned and fairly heavy muscled for an Arab) - when I was competing FEI I thought I'd see if I could help his recoveries by lightening his coat, so I sprayed a very very dilute bleach solution over his coat for a period of several weeks - it lightened to a beautiful gold/brown color :) Didn't make an ounce of difference in his recoveries or heat tolerance, sure was pretty tho!
