Anyone elses horses shedding like mad?

[Damnation]

Groomed the pony last night and on her sides are like mats where the hair hasn't shedded because her rug has been on. (She is groomed everyday when rugged)
And again today! Its coming out in handfuls! I filled her little feed skip with just her hair!
I HATE moutling with a passion and may clip her sooner then expected
Its making her very itchy,the shedding blade is her new best friend!
Anyone elses horses shedding like this?

Already shed and wnter coat well on the way. Very early for my boy

 

[PingPongPony]

yes, lots and lots of short white hairs everywhere when i groom her, its like snow! then of course i'm covered in the hair and am not allowed inside untill i get the hair off me clippers are coming out soon

 

[DH1]

Mine has already shed hers She usually has a really pathetic excuse for a winter coat, really flat and fine. However, she has already grown quite a fluffy coat across her back
Hope this is not a sign of things to come!!

Shedding and winter coat here all in one go, it kind of grew all in one night so hes still moulting. Its great as its the only time I can give him a good groom as hes itchy as hes very sensitive skinned and hates being brushed normally

Er Yea! My welsh A (3yo) started 1st week of August! I think he knows something I don't!!!

 

[proctor]

My boy certainly is! He didn't shed like this last year and it's quite early for him! There is a thread here about this winter being harder than last and snow in Oct, maybe the horses know it's going to come true!!! eek!

Mine is a WB and I bought her this time last year. I don't remember her shedding at all really!! She had a very fine winter coat last year too.. She is getting a fluffy coat through. I think they know something we don't!

my lass is looking very wooly and bring it on as she is nude all winter so woop woop a good winter coat showing xx

Blimey, never mind shedding like mad - the old banger did that in July. Now sporting a lovely woolly winter coat which will continue lengthening and thickening until January. Currently at the yak stage, mammoth stage approaching

 

[Spyda]

Yep, my rugged WBxTB is moulting heavily. Deep sigh.... winter's on its way.

 

[mulledwhine]

Yes, I am thinking about clippIng him for the first time

 

[margaretb]

this post is 12 months old - how does it compare with moulting habits this year?

 

[The wife]

Seriously contemplating getting the clippers out grrr. The Bain of my life. I never usually start clipping until a week before opening meet!

 

[Shysmum]

If Shy loses any more, I'll be literally using the shedding blade on his bones

 

[noodle_]

yep....no winter coats - they havent been rugged since summer.....they are very confuzled!!!

both now rugged

 

[smellsofhorse]

yes my tb is.
its surprising how much comes off, his coat isnt that thick.
worst thing is he is coloured but mostly white so i get covered in white hair!

 

[KVH]

yes, lots and lots of short white hairs everywhere when i groom her, its like snow!

As above!

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

Yes Nell is suddenly moulting and starting to get a woolly coat

 

[HoneyB24]

My girl isn't too bad but her sweet itch rug helps to keep her coat flat but she is shedding quite a bit

 

[legyield]

My skewbald filly has been moulting for what feels like an age! I hope her coat comes through as thick as last year's as she's out 24/7
