Just A Little Off The Top, Please

While we’re driving to Fort Collins, Colorado, I’ll share a couple of pictures from Wednesday.  We decided to give Morgunn a full body clip.  Being an Icelandic Horse he genetically has a thicker coat than most horses.  It’s great in the winter as he’s prepared for most any cold weather.  However, his summer coat is two to three times thicker than most horses so our New Mexico hot sun would be a problem for him.

Here’s the before…

Beautiful! Does it grow back or does he stay light for the summer?

Breathe, it does grow back. We'll probably give him another full body clip in late July. That will last him through the warm days of September and early October. It will grow out in time for winter.
