Omg all my animals have started moulting like it's an olympic event. I think it could be a conspiracy I'm taking my youngest to playschool today for the first time and I look like I'm the one moulting! Oh well start as you mean to go on - I'm never tidy so they won't get a false impression ;D

Good luck dealing with all that hair!
BTW why is it that woolly black ponies always seem to shed tonnes of whitish hair?!!!

Rosie started moulting just after Christmas! Another thing why is cat hair always greyish no matter what colour the cat? We have had torties, black and whites, all black, grey and different shades of tabbies and the bloomin fur has always been the same colour when its on the carpet or the curtains or the furniture! I've always thought when you decorate you should take the cat hair to the carpet/furniture show room and match everything to that! ;D

I think they co-ordinate the hair with what you're wearing; Black hair for light clothes and white hair for dark clothes

Anyone still rugged up? ???I took the little one's off a couple of weeks ago, and except for a couple of weak moments in the frost they stayed off and she is moulting beautifully, but the old mare doesn't get much coat anyway, and is hanging on to it and her rug, she's gone down to a lightweight one, but tucked up horribly without it, so as I am in sympathy with her old bones she is still dressed!!

Mine don't have rugs but the ex race horse in my field has still got his on because he is quite a skinny boy. I have already got the leccy fence in action as it is greening up!

Yes, straight from de icing water buckets and swimming around in mud, to worrying about laminitis - that's horses for you!

I with you on the lami worring Kunuma, is the little mare doing okay? But I'm a wuss and my two are still rugged at night and in thin ones in the day if it's iffy when I leave.
I don't currently know who is shedding more hair between the horses and jade, at least the horse is outside and only covers me if I help it along whereas Jades even gets in the freezer! I too can never understand how my Ginger pony and dog both malt white hairs, at least Murphs are dark.

OK just reread that, your dog doesn't get in the freezer! That's a relief! I've been lurking all over the place researching barefoot trimming - the air went kinda blue when I mentioned it to my farrier!! It should NOT be the case that monthly trimming results in a horse that looks like it has never been done!! I saw some pics someone posted saying very much the same thing, with before and after pics! So I am saving up - as I also should like to see her with more frog, or at least with it lower than her sole!!
