We have to braid his mane, tail and forelock in the summer because it is SO thick.....we dont want to cut or thin it either...but it looks like we might....dont know, Patty (the owner) does not want to but Arurora (instructor) wants to...
Hey, i should have a say! I am the one braiding it every week!
That is so cool how Mike can grow his fur out a couple of inches. He's lucky. The horses that I will be working with don't grow their hair out that far. :shock:
I have a TB cross, TBs being notorious for their lack of hair doesn't help! My horse is a weinie and grows nearly no winter coat. He has more blankets then I do. :roll:

I wish my horse had this problem. I can't stand winter hair on my horses and I usually end up body clipping them and keeping them under blankets and hoods all winter. I've gotten better in the past couple of years but grooming a horse with a winter coat somehow isn't quite as satisfying as grooming a nice, shiny summer coat. Plus they take forever to dry off.
TJ doesn't have a blanket either, and i can't imagine she would ever let me put one on her if i had one. she is sooo spooky.
she also doesn't grow much of a winter coat. don't know if its the TB in her or not, but either way, there's not much difference between her summer or winter coat.
My warmblood becomes a mammoth. He really looks like one too cause of his colour.
My TB i havent experienced his hair cause I've only had him 7 months and he was clipped when i got him. I'll probably rug them ALOT this winter for pony club. I usually but about 5 rugs on each horse. Some thick, some thin.
My TB only ever has his rug off when i ride him. SO basically he's rugged 24/7 365 days.
My Vager grows a pretty good winter coat but Nado & Jeli grow barely nothing. I don't have any blankets for my horses though, and they are out all winter, probably because I don't have a barn or anything haha. They have some trees in their pature but that's it, I give them oats on days when it is below 0 and they do great.
We clip our horses during winter and rug them. We have to clip them cause we go to endurance rides durung winter and they get really hot having to work so hard so if they have a thick winter coat they are too hard to cool down and it's get their heart rates down (which vets you out!) and thats not good after all the hard work you've put in!!
Hi everyone,
My horse is a standardbred and she does gte fuzzy, but not too thick, so I blanket her as it is so cold here in the winter. I'll see if I can find a picture of her in full coat.
my boy is a fluffly thing.but i full clip him in the winter,because i comoete him in the winter.but in the summer he grows a really nice summer coat.where i work all of the ponies have a clip or near enough and some of them are really fluffly and they are maulting so much at the moment,that there is hair all over the yard hehe
Mike is in between his shedding out know, so I will add another picture..I was looking back and decided that it looks like two different horses...lol.
You can see that he is not as hairy. but he is losing it! If your wondering what other pictures I am talking of, look back to the first post.
