My fjords are the only ones shedding, even the clipped one is. Got alot off
of Amber yesterday. And she'd rolled and rubbed on the frozen sand and left a
blanket of fjord hair. The small pony isn't shedding, and he's blanketed too.
Does worry me some though as he does have some health issues and the vet had
asked if he sheds out and what his coat is like. He's just 9yrs. old, a few
little fat pockets, hes' on thyroid meds but all in all, he isn't fat. He'd
mentioned "insulin resistant" or something like that?? His diet, per the vet,
is good for this though, no grain, just a mineral pellet to add his thyroid
med to, good grass hay, some alfalfa, and soaked beet pulp. The beet pulp has
molasses in it but we soak it and then he gets his part drained. For the most
part, this is what the fjords get, minus the thyroid med... I did take a look
at the ponys coat today, really nice, shiny, slick for long hair.
