Ok, this is going to sounds a bit weird and I don’t know whether to be concerned. I have an aged ID Mare 24 and a half who is stabled overnight and out during the day. She is retired and unclipped (for the last couple of years due to arthritis) but for the first time this winter she has started sweating in what I would call “normal†night time rugs for her.
In previous winters she hasn’t worn many clothes but is in at least a light fleece unless very cold. The other night it was 6 degrees and I would expect her to be ok in a fleece at this temp but was lightly sweaty the next morning. She has since been naked - again I have no problem with this but it it unusual for her.
She had the test for PPID last summer and was way,way under the threshold for being concerned. She seems ok in herself - good appetite, bright and perky, not depressed.
Would this concern you? It’s not really worrying me other than it’s not normal for her if you see what I mean ?
