Is anyones horse shedding already?

[KINDMARE]

As per title - my girl is moulting like mad - bit early isn’t it?

 

[marmalade76]

I have noticed that they all start releasing a few hairs as soon as the shortest day is out of the way but I'd be concerned if they were moulting like mad.

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

No moulting but mine are still out at night and it's freezing at the moment.

It was still light at 4.30pm today

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

mine is moulting but not excessively, he is FLUFFY

My daughter’s pony has been shedding since the end of December!

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

No, even though they had rugs on during the rain that we have just had. But I have had one start to moult on Boxing Day, in the past.

 

[Gloi]

Not much yet. About 2 hairs came out today . It was blooming cold though so I don't blame him. He is FLUFFY too.

My girl has some floof coming out, she started moulting end of December.
My two geldings are keeping theirs attached.

No, sadly not. My horse looks like a mammoth. I’ve not ridden since early December really due to Christmas and various other bits then since I’m pretty reliant on someone to ride with me and have had no one, I’m quite sure he wasn’t that hairy before.
He’s currently not look out of place tethered to the side of the road.
I’d very gladly have him moult.. although I may just clip the whole lot off to avoid proper moulting as I’m pretty allergic

 

[HopOnTrot]

Mine moult at different times, mine will still be hanging into her coat in May!

 

[CobsaGooden]

My risng 3 year old has started to shed. She’s very fluffy though so probably good she started early

 

[Vodkagirly]

One is, just lightly and he goes resemble a polar bear. The other 2 aren't.

Yes , my Spanish horse is. She lives out here, not too far from Bordeaux. We've had a fair bit of rain over the last few weeks but with no minus temperatures until earlier this week.As a result I put a rug on her for the first time this winter. When I took it off in the morning the inside was absolutely covered in hair.!
It's very sudden as I groom her every other day: Sunday nothing, Tuesday lots. Normally she would start in March.
Her companion is French and hasn't started but he is hardier than her.

Mine has started and he’s in Colorado where the forecast this weekend is -25c!

Good god! Does life still carry on as usual? I know we are a bit weedy over here and everything go's wrong and grinds to a halt at far warmer temps than that! Presumably your more prepared over there?

 

[Dave's Mam]

Yes. Dave is moulting.

 

[Sealine]

No signs of shedding yet. I will hunter clip (currently has a blanket clip) in first week of Feb to avoid the shedding!

 

[MiJodsR2BlinkinTite]

Just a few hairs visible on my cobby Yak over the New Year.

YAY.

We are beginning to get there.

Thank God!
