Bleached coat....

[piaffe]

Anything I can do/use for a sun bleached coat? My boys coat isn't looking great at all and was just wondering if there is anything i can do?

He had a rug on, but kept taking it off so gave up on that!

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it, you could try those colour inhancing shampoos

The weather is what is to blame I should think - we had so much heat and then it went cold again, so horses have started regrowing coats and now are malting a tad again

Other than wearing a big rug that will repel the sun there really is not anything you can do about it

My girls now more skewbald than piebald (secretly I'm delighted, as never wanted a piebald anyway, but don't tell Sparks that!!!!!)

It'll come back next year just as dark as normal...

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Yeah I know, but enjoying owning a skewbald for the mo!!!!

He he... my dark bay has gone so light on her flanks that she looks dunn there!

Never seen her as light as she is this year, in fact I've heard so many people saying that!

Ditto, I have a skewbald most of the year round now, seriously. When I clip him out he is grey/chestnutty colour, and goest chestynut in summer too, yey!

use a colour enhancing shampoo to help bring out the colour xxx

There isn't much you can do about it. My black pony has goes dark bay in the summer (even though she wears a fly rug so isn't really exposed to the sun), her winter coat comes through black but then when i clip her she goes browny grey colour!!

My black is almost dun now where he sweats!

I want my piebald back!!! I will have to change her passport if she stays a skewbald!!
