I have a 3 year old chunky cob, who has recently put on a lot of weight. He has an Irish Cip, just belly, chest, half neck and all face left on.
He was clipped about 5/6 weeks ago, so it has started growing back, and the rest of his hair is typical cobs, very thick!
He is a rug wrecker - i keep sewing them up, and this morning half of his rug was missing! And i cant afford to keep buying them, and sewing them up daily is getting frustrating!
He is fed twice a day, has shelter under trees and behind fences too. He has ad lib hay and haylage hung in nets on the fence and under the trees.
Could he live out without a rug? His fur does feel cold on top when i leave him without one, but he isnt too cold on his skin where he was clipped, although he isnt particularly warm either..
