Yes, my Connemara has been this week.
He is stabled at night with a lightweight rug on.
I throw the hair on the yard for the birds to use in their nests. Snug!
Oh yuck yes! Went for a ride in the rain this afternoon, came back with me and the tack covered in wet white hair - my lad sheds it really slowly too, it's not all out until June, and August he starts growing the winter one again!
