Calendars function as part of an overall timekeeping system where time of day and date together mark a specific moment in time. In today’s modern world, the written calendar is no longer essential as part of these systems, as the invention of highly accurate clocks have made it possible to record time independent of astronomical events.

The normal purpose of calendars is for the identification of days so we can be informed about future events and to keep a record of when that event took place. The significance of days may be tied to civil, social or religious reasons. Calendars provide ways of determining which days are to be religious or civil holidays, which days mark the start and end of accounting periods for busineses, and which of the days will have significance of a legal nature, such as what day taxes are due or when a contract will expire. Calendars also give us other information such as when each season starts and ends.

The international standard for calendars is the Gregorian Calendar, which is in use today almost everywhere around the world.

People use calendars in order to manage their activities and time and their personal schedules, especially when they have multiple school, family and work commitments. Some people may use multiple systems, and may make use of a family calendar and a business calendar in order to prevent them from overcommitting their precious time.

Calendars are often a physical device such as cardboard and paper. These can be wall calendars or desktop calendars. Paper calendars have one or two sheets that can show single days, weeks, months, or an entire year. Sheets for a single days easily show both the date and the weekday. Sheets for multiple days show tables in order to make the conversion from weekday to date and back. By crossing out days past, it can show you the current date and weekday.

Wall calendars are calendars designed to be hung on a wall. Wall calendars normally consist of a group of 12 images (one for each month) on a particular subject. These can include car calendars, dog calendars, movie calendars etc. The size of wall calendars differ; 12 inches by 12 inches with the calendar closed being the regular size in the USA and Canada.

Recently I read about research done in the United Kingdom studying the coats of horses in the summer and the fall. They studied the thickness of the skin layers, the density of the individual hairs, and the number and volume of the sweat and sebaceous glands of ponies, non-Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbreds.

Without getting too technical in my explanation they studied the thickness of the skin layers, the density of the individual hairs, and the number and volume of the sweat and sebaceous glands of ponies, non-Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbreds.

Of these three groups, the Thoroughbreds results were more stunning. The Thoroughbreds skin was much thinner in the summer than a non-Thoroughbred. They had the widest range of skin change from summer to winter with a larger increase of sebaceous gland size. Interestingly the Thoroughbreds had higher size measurements for the sebaceous glands in the winter than the non-Thoroughbreds and the ponies. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance which in the winter helps with waterproofing the equine coat while in the summer helps wick sweat through the coat. The researchers have thought that it may be of their Arabian ancestry with its origins in a hotter climate.

As would be expected, there was a higher number of sweat glands in comparison in the Thoroughbreds and the non-Thoroughbreds versus to the smaller ponies. The non-Thoroughbreds and the ponies’ sebaceous glands were more active in the summer wicking away sweat from their coats.

Although horse owners know that their horses’ coats thicken in the winter and become thinner in the summer. It is also quite amazing how the horses hydration levels change.

Speaking of coats, here is a tip for a healthier and shinier coat. It is a supplement called TAHITIAN NONI™ Equine Formula ™ from Tahitian Noni International. Show horses use it. Besides nicer coats even all through the winter, TAHITIAN NONI™ Equine Formula™ supports the immune system; helps relieve stress, helps with digestion and nutrient absorption.

Now you know the mechanics behind why your horse sweats in the summer and their thicker coat during the winter months.
