Each of our horses has a fan for his stall during the summer. They love
them, and will stand as close as possible to get the full effect on their
faces.
I also have had an overly warm Fjord here in hot,humid Nebraska. One of our
mares tends to have a thicker coat, even in the summer, and if I am using her
alot, I just give her a body clip. That solves the warm horse problem.
I have been following the thread about "feel" and horse trainers. I agree
that reactions and response time can be improved with education. But I know
people with thousands of dollars in lessons and extremely well trained horses,
that continue to respond too harshly at exactly the wrong moment, and ignore
the obvious things that should be corrected. Although "feel" can be learned,
there are some people that just seem to lack the instinct or the interest to
develop it.
