I see.
I think standing and lingering in cool creeks even if shallow can cool them down nicely too. Our creeks stay cold even in summer, do yours? Have you practiced any more with the 'sponge on a rope'?
No I haven't:), thanks for the reminder.
It's kind of funny to see the things people do to cool a horse off. But I've found #1 to be the best. Condition the horse enough, and you won't have problems.

Oh, and definitly standing in water is the best. There just is not always water to stand in:)
Standing your horse with his front end higher then his back end helps too, even if it's just the slighest incline.
