Hello again.
This may be a really silly question, but the other night I went for a ride, and I ponied little Miss May on the trail. My QH is an extreme sweater, and was already moist around the base of his neck before I saddled him, but was dripping by the time I was done. To be fair, he is quite out of shape and a bit tubby right now. It was still pretty hot that evening, but Miss May didn't even break a sweat, not one drop. We rode for about an hour and a half, and she chooses to slow jog most the time to keep up with my big guy's big stride. She's not super in shape, but she's not really out of shape either, so I expected at least a little bit. And I do know she sweats because just before I body shaved her I worked her pretty hard one night and she was a touch moist underneath her coat, she didn't look sweaty, but I could feel it if I stuck my fingers under the hair.
Still gave both of them a good hose down when we were done.
Anyways... rambling...
My question is pretty much what the title is. Do you find your mini's sweating less, or is this just an individual thing?
