hello everyone... Never posted before so a quick introduction first. I have 2 horses living at home ( farmers wife) my standardbred x called Barley and my daughters mini shetland called Teddy!
Teddy has recently started itching at rubbing so now has a few bald patches around his chest and back of legs. Up to date with worming, checked and cannot see any creepy crawlies! He has however got very bad dry dandruff skin which I think May be the problem. Also the stables are now ready and with him having about 3 inches of hair (very mild winter) he is sweating when in stable even when just for a few hours. He has to come in as I like to keep them together for company.
So is it fair to clip him?? Many thanks!!
