Here's our trial set up. It gets hot here with 90 degree weather but also super humid (usually 70% and up), so I can't use anything that relies heavily on evaporation.
I lug a playpen to trial for maximum ventilation, put a thick Crypton fabric throw on the floor, with a cool bed, 2 10" fans and a reflective covering over the top. The dogs wear the chilly buddy coats between runs.
With this set up, Juliet, who really REALLY cannot take the heat, can survive full day trials this way. Phew!

Originally being from the Houston area I can relate to the humidity! I can't remember what we did for the shelties though. But it looks like you have everything taken care of there!
