Just thought I'd put in my 2-cents about the sweating. Most horses shed their
winter fur when summer comes. this shorter hair allows the sweat to coat the
hair and be evaporated, pulling heat away from the body.Kind of like the fins
on a radiator. I think Darwin would agree, an Icy horse it

I don't teach my horses to back that way, because I like to be able to use
tail pulls as a back stretching exercise. Do you know an easy way to

Shave. The hair does not protect them from heat
unless the air is warmer than horse (about 38 C
whatever that is in F). And even when it's warmer
the hair probably makes sweating less effective.
