Has yours finished moulting yet?

Just wondering how many people's horses have finished / not finished moulting yet?
I should really make a note of when Alf starts and finishes. He has PPID so I'm not expecting him to keep up with healthy horses, but he's only shed about half his coat and I'm worried about how the increasing temperature will affect him. I can clip him if he starts getting unhappy, but I wanted to gauge how others' horses are doing so far this year?

My warmblood is nearly there still got bits to go .But my section A has loads to go yet she still very furry got lots of her winter coat esp on her belly and legs think they are all different quite a few horses at our stables lost there winter coats weeks ago . I just make sure i give them both a good groom every day get rid off all that loose hair .A great item is the furminator i find this great for grooming gets all that hair off plus the good old grooming block can't go wrong :)
 
All 3 of mine are slow this year, tb x is nearly there, fell x is still quite fluffy and the clipped out cob is still covered in long whiskery hairs, which I think he's going to forget to moult altogether!
 
Still a while to go, but the dapples are coming through slowly. Both mine seem to be losing coats differently this year. Neither are producing big clumps, just a steady gradual change. Mind you we did have quite a warm spring last year didn't we?
 
Nope none of them have

30 yr old with cushings looks the best. But still has long with hairs to come out

5 yr old still has some on his belly and legs

Mini Shetland has loads left
 
Mine haven't. We had 13 of 15 unrugged this winter, the four yearlings were stabled also.

The two boys in work were clipped when they came in and look lovely now; Star grew a pretty feeble winter coat as it was her first winter unrugged since she was 2. She's getting there slowly. I was reluctant to clip her because she didn't come in to work until end of April plus she hates being clipped, but like I said, not the hairiest of coats to deal with (although she is currently two different shades of bay and has random bald bits where the hair has come out in small clumps).

The yearlings still look a bit bedraggled but summer is coming, or so I keep telling myself...
 
My 5yo WB is pretty much finished now, very little left to come out. But my 15yo cob (who had a blanket clip) and my unclipped 20yo Welshie still have lots to come out. Mostly left unrugged now and lots of good curry-ing so fingers crossed won't have too much longer left!!
