Re: RC: When is it TOO Hot... like today in Vt.

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

To some extent our horses are acclimated to it.  As long as you take
care then we can ride just about every day of the year.  If we followed
some heat + humidity index, we would never ride.  The bugs were the
biggest pain.  They go from zero on one day to bad two days later.  

Jeeze it was so much fun, I'm going back out tomorrow for a little ride
with some friends, maybe 10 to 15 miles.  This time the old boy is
wearing a fly mask.
