Re: [RC] Winter Hair - Aaron Turnage

My horse is starting to get pretty hairy right now
too.  We live in the high desert and it's been 40's at
night but 80's during the day.  He's a non-Arab and
really puts the hair on.  In fact, he won the "Hairy
Horse" award at our local schooling show last spring. 
That was AFTER being blanketed from Oct on.  Last
year, I did a modified trace clip (bottom 1/2 of neck
and front of chest) on him that seemed to work pretty
well.  It allowed for maximum cooling in those areas,
but would not have required blanketing, although I did
blanket him in an effort to keep the REST of his hair
down.  In fact, he's getting clipped tonight for a
ride on Saturday.

legs supposed to curl like that?)
