Coat regrowth after clipping - coarse feel to it

[Toffee_monster]

We clipped my pony Harry just before Xmas, a nice hunter clip to stop his itchy scurfy coat causing him more discomfort and because his level of work warranted it. He lives out but in a nice sheltered field and rugged up well, I've never found him chilly.

However his coat is growing back and it is a horrid texture, almost short and wirey pube like (sorry, but that's how I can best describe it lol). It's not thick but a bit cat hairy.

Do you think it would be best to reclip now or just leave it to come through properly when the summer coat comes through. It really does feel horrid ????

Clip now! I had my son's pony done today as hers was much the same, although that exact description hadn't come to mind!

my girls is the same, think it's because she's a native and its the first layer of the 3 layer coat she gets!! lol!

yup mine are always like that at this time of year until the summer coat starts coming in properly, its like coarse guard hairs/ I just clip them off again.

Will get the YO to clip him for ,e at the weekend I think

One of ours is the same & I'm planning on re-clipping him - looks like a right scruffbag atm!
