Sweaty Horses

February 16th, 2009

My dad used to tell us we were sweating like horses and to stop horsing around. We didn’t get it, what was he talking about? What did our running around have to do with horses, was it the excessive sweating? We would come inside and be wet and dirty, from playing.

Excessive sweating is this a real problem for horses, or just part of there makeup. Horses are excessively sweaty when they finish a race, running barrels, or high jumping. I wonder if this is this why they walk the horse afterward, does the horse need to cool down, does the brushing have something to do with this.
