[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1032515, member: 5644"] Happy the trip went well. My vet told me several years ago, that a soaked animal will overheat. It is so hot and humid here. I know that working outside, I sweat a lot on my face. If I don't wipe the sweat off, it accumulates and I get hotter and hotter. When the weather is like this and I wash the accumulated sweat off of the horses, I have to be sure to use a scraper to get the majority of water off so that they will dry. I put them in the shade under a tree. If I turn one out still wet, it just gets wetter and wetter sweating. I am going by experience. That is why I made the suggestion not to soak. [/QUOTE]
