Hairy pony is now very hairy, he's now on winter turnout which means going out only 2 x a week.
He's ridden most days, but despite regular brushing he's still filthy and gets warm and sweaty if ridden anything more than walk and anything more than a short hack.
Problem is that I live too far from the yard to feasibly visit twice a day, he could do with clipping but the YO refuses to change rugs.
I hate this, he should be in a lighter or no rug during the day and rugged or heavier rugged overnight, on turnout days he ends up staying in the same rug from the night before until the night of the second turnout day.
How often do you all change your rugs????
