Phrase sukhaja golova (dogs, horses)

[Don Livingston]

I've spotted a Russian phrase "sukhaja golova" opposed to "syraja golova" in discussions of dogs and horses.  I suspect the phrases are technical terms that have little to do with moisture.  My first hour's search into them have found nothing apropos.  Any insights into what they mean?
