Will damp horsey be OK?

[Tickles]

After quite a little canter (not really sweating much but breathing heavily & veins standing out) walked off horse for 5min or so. Hosed, (which he really enjoyed) then couldn't find sweat scrapper. Did best I could with a brush then walked him round for a few (but prob only 3-5

) min. Popped him back in field. he lives out rugless 24-7 in summer but I'm really worried he'll get too chilled. That was about 9:30ish and I'm still worried...

well i hosed mine off on purpose and then turned out, they loved it, its summer and its not hot here often! i wouldnt worry, prob dry by 9.35ish!

 

[cokelly]

no probz he'll be fine

tip for when you can't find the sweatscraper again- use your whip- bend it a little and scrap the water off!! XD

He'll be fine. By now, he'll be dry.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go back to the yard immediately - it's well known that ALL horses dissolve in water

Oh eck, I'm glad you weren't around on Saturday. Henry had a proper shower (he has his own puff!!) in cold water from the hose. It ran between his bum cheeks and the reaction was a VERY hunched up pony, poor lad. Happy to say he was fine and rolled less than 2 mins later, to show me what he thought of the whole 'shampoo' experience!!!

If he's out 24/7, he can walk/trot around to warm up. Or stick his wet bum against an unsuspecting field acquaintance. The equivalent of icy feet in bed, lol!

 

[kellyeaton]

he will be fine in this weather!

 

[nobbster]

[Donkeymad]
