Be glad that he does sweat. Be sure to leave access to salt and give electrolytes daily. As long as his pee is clear to slight yellow your horse is in good heath and not anything to worry about.

Veteran Posts: 237 Location: Ava, Missouri	Make sure that he has access to free choice salt, make sure he is drinking enough water. Feed him electrolytes and make sure that he is in shape. If he keeps doing this for longer than a month (as long as he is being conditioned correctly) then you should consult the vet about it.
