So Fatty is out during the day in at night he’s unrugged
He is losing weight ( I am restricting forage ) and that is good .
However he has a bad smell he’s drying to slowly and defiantly has an off smell .
Because he has non sweating syndrome he’s prone to skin infections because he does not cast skin cells as well as an normal horse .He also has a history of being immune suppressed .
I don’t want to bath him but I am going to have too otherwise we are going to be bother .
So the plan is to bath him tomorrow and leave him in all day to dry .
what I can’t decide is should I rug him from now on .
I really don’t like fully coated horses in rugs.
