who elses horses are casting their coats?

[cob&onion]

My cob has been casting her coat for the past week, its coming off in handfuls and everything is covered in white hairs!!
Still, a sure sign spring is on its way even though we have this cold snap

Star is clipped, but the hair is coming off her legs.....

I wish. Mine tries very hard to hold on to his winter coat until at least July He's usually clipped right out (cruel owner ) but he injured himself last Sept so hasn't been. I'm really not looking forward to the moulting

 

[Cupcakes and Horses]

Yep two of mine are, filled a bag from my shetland earlier! We've started lambing two....always makes me think of spring because it is by the time we come out the other side!

I need a like button

Really looking forward to spring and bringing the horses back near home

yep, my two older lads are moulting... Darach's not yet though... His top layer is still mostly mud!

 

[Theocat]

Nope. Wish he would; he was clipped in mid November and still looks as though it was done yesterday. He hangs on to it for months, so at this rate I'll still have clip lines in August.

Not quite ready for that just yet This was this morning.

A couple of days ago:

Ours haven't fully grown their winter coats yet, we also have lambs in nearby fields now two weeks old, a brown breed of sheep though

 

[lannerch]

I wish!

 

[skychick]

Yep...clipped tb andshe has been chucking her hair out since early dec!!! Silly old bat!!

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Yes, I noticed the first hairs falling out on *Boxing Day*. She was clipped out last year when I bought her,so I don't know what is normal.

 

[Rose Folly]

Yes, the mahogany summer coat is starting to show through my cob's conker-coloured winter coat, and the long hair's starting to drift off her legs. Only the TB is hanging on to his coat. and all the primroses are out!!

 

[KSR]

My 2 ponies are shedding.. My horses are not..

 

[Enfys]

and all the primroses are out!!

Nothing, but nothing is doing anything dumb enough like even shooting here just yet.

Twelve hours ago it looked like this and was minus something or other, just been out to do evening stables (11.30 ish) and it is +7C and the snow has gone, vanished into muddy puddles which will no doubt be sheet ice if the temperature drops. This winter is all to cock.

 

[Rose Folly]

And I've just done evening stables tonight, midnight, and the temp has dropped to -8C. All outside taps frozen so endless trips from the house with buckets of water. Haven't got time to look at the primroses any more!

 

[lannerch]

Lol loving the primroses
