I sprayed my horses too last week when it was so hot. The heat index at our place was well over 100. Sissel was mostly soaked with sweat and breathing unusually hard. Where she was semi-dry, her coat was crusted with dirt and salt. She did NOT appreciate the water at first, but eventually learned to tolerate it, especially since there were treats involved too. Toupen just glanced at me mildly, then adjusted his butt so the spray hit him where he liked it best. Frosty and Duncan were jumpy at first, then they decided they liked it. Frosty in particular -- I couldn't get rid of him after a bit. Finn and Annie would have nothing to do with me and my hose. Since I really didn't want to stress them further in the heat, I left well enough alone. I hope they all get to enjoy the water. I'll keep working at it on those hotter-than-hot days. DeeAnna
