Re: [IceHorses] Icehorses sweating?

[Dwight Roberts]

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 has evolved to fit 
its environment. Long hair that doesn't go away during the summer. In a really 
hot area , when he sweats the moisture never gets to see the surface air to be 
evaporated. so shaving during the summer is a good idea.    Dwight
