I 've never heard of this, but in Dec. of 2004, we made the terrible decision to have our lovely mare, Ember, put down - she was insulin resistant and had re-foundered for the 3rd time. Even with her winter coat she was very bright and shiny. She had not had any grain for over a year, nor any apples, carrots or other treats - only rinsed beet pulp and hay ( which we had tested for sugar content ) She also was not fat.

Your observation is what I'm looking for from people. It appears your mare exhibited the same shiny coat that mine did. I wonder if this is hormone related... I haven't had many responses, but those I have seen have been about mares, not geldings or stallions. I have seen the phenomenon twice, but the first time was many, many years ago and I can't recall what sex the horse was.
