Anyone got any tips of getting rid of the winter coat ? Although Missy has just got the woolies around her rump area to go , How do I get it off

, Washed her yesterday to loosen it up abit, shes rugged , been using shedding blade and rubber gloves to rub it loose .

Anyone got any more tips ?? Balmoral is tomorrow week

Is it possible to turn her out naked? Rolling will help shed some hair.

One of those grooming stones?

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Jesterfaerie, she doesnt do rolling in the field

I wish she would though .

Where would one get a grooming stone ?

 

[GinaB]

One would get a grooming stone in ones local tack shop

They look like a pumice stone. We used one on Honeys considerably large backside and the difference was amazing!

 

[WishfulThinker]

Grooming stone every time you groom

We got most of Beaus out in 2 weeks with doing it every day. Still got some coming out now tho

. boo.

soya oil is supposed to help, feeding it not rubbing it on the coat LOL

Or a smart coat rake from clipper sharp is an excellent tool.
smart coats

alfa a oil
plenty of scrubbing.
nesting birds-the ones round here grab it by the beakfull-or they did until the fly rugs when on lol
i suppose putting them under lights early on in the year would also help start it sooner...

I use a rubber curry comb and that does a brilliant job

I use a rubber curry comb in a sideways direction.

eg. horses coat is facing >>> so I use it ^v^v and then brush in direction in hair. Took me an hour and a bit to do Amber's bum the other week and it was still coming out.
With persistence and everyday grooming it should come out though.
Good luck and hope your arm doesn't ache too much

Gina dearest , ones tack shop does not have them, So one will have to go and have a nosey else where

Horsegirl, shes getting soya oil in her feed

Donkey mad thanks for that x

There is plenty of swallows nesting amanda, so how would one make them pick at the coat ?

Moodiest Yip trying that too .

Thanks elizabeth
