A wee question??

[Bananarama]

Right guys ok with the milder weather starting to set in ..... today ... well has any ones horses started to shed their coats. My pony has always shedded early

But we suspect cushing at the moment for various reasons and I was just wondering if anyones horsys were already losing their winter coat?

 

[wizoz]

All ours are losing their coats and my mates horses are losing theirs too

 

[kerilli]

yep, mine have started losing their coats already.

 

[Amrose]

Our pony has just started to lose hers this week & oh how I hate all that hair!!

 

[Syrah]

Mine is with abundance.

We were going to clip her and keep her clipped out yesterday but the hair was coming out in clumps!

Still, she's getting a lovely sheen now with lots and lots of grooming.

 

[DreamerII]

Yeah D started shedding on Saturday...black jumper, pally hair...NICE!!!

 

[checkmate1]

Indie started mildley shedding ages ago, but she isn't molting masses.

 

[xxpippaxxevaxx]

pippa started shedding last week

 

[mememe]

yep buster has, although this was my first year with my own clippers so i havet left him much fur to lose!

 

[Henbug]

Mine is fully clipped but is shedding what little there is

 

[stormyhorse]

Mine have started to lose their coats, one a clipped conne and the other a hairy cob

 

[Nats_uk]

Mine has kept his clip really well but he is starting to molt a lot - vet was running hands down legs today and patches of chestnut hair were falling on the floor!

 

[dwi]

A bit but not massively yet.

eeek, getting worried that Cushings is too much of a possibility

He is a right little hairy boy [shettieX] and he is usually earlier than everyone elses horses. He has a curly coat down his stifle folds and along his spine, possibly drinking more than usual and bad dandruff. Soo if he doesnt shed or sheds late then Im going to get seriously worried!! Thanks for all your replies more are very welcome, especially ones from Scotland or those with shetties/shettieXs

Thanks again.

PS he hasnt started shedding at all :'(

 

[rara007]

Yes- All our our too.

 

[laura_1983]

yep all our riding school ponies are and mine is, quite alot of liveries have mentioned it too!

 

[Bananarama]

meh, it just gets worse. Well I guess Ill just have to watch him carefully and see when he sheds, but like I say not even a tiny bit yet

 

[Bananarama]

right ... so everyones horses are shedding at least lightly

Anyone else??

 

[BarmyC]

mine aren't yet???

 

[Rambo]

Bo's summer coat is pretty much completely through now

Good news really as it saved me another clip

 

[Eaglestone]

Well my old chap is a Cushings Horse and I don't hold out much hope for his coat to start to shed for a long while yet!

The first piccie in my siggie, shows him well into the spring last year

 

[xcalicox]

My shelties not shedding yet, but he's got a full clip and rugs.
He thinks he's a horse!

 

[machannah]

easily had 4/5 weeks worth now, its coming out in handfuls!!

 

[charlyan]

My Welsh x tb has started shedding in the past couple of weeks. This is much earlier than last year but it's not coming out in handfuls just yet!
