How many horse folks out there are enjoying the cooler weather?
I for one love it, and so does my horse. But, the cooler weather definitely brings new challenges for horse owners like me. Suddenly, I find myself the proud owner of a “woolly mammoth” during the fall and winter months-despite riding even more! It happens so quickly too. Go a few days mid September without seeing my little buddy and travel out to the barn planning to ride and enjoy the nice weather to find my guy looking “fuzzy wuzzy” despite the mild temperature! So, I ride anyway, just a leisurely hack to find him huffing and puffing after finishing and sweating like crazy. With all that fuzz, it takes forever to dry him out too- which is essential because a horse not properly cooled and dried out can get sick and catch a nasty cold, can’t have that! Hence the delima faced by many horse owners this time of year- to body clip or not to body clip?
