Hi,
I seldom put my Fjord in her stall for the night. I have seen her
shiver, but that was when we had a very windy cold rain all day and I
think she was pretty soaked to the skin. I locked her in the stall for
the night and kept the blanket on for a few hours till she was warmed
and dry. I think we tend to baby our Fjords when not necessary because
we all know how much the bill can be if they get sick.
I've never seen a Fjord shiver......? (I would wonder if it were sick if it
did!) We allow ours to be either in or out in the winter, at their choosing,
and they usually always choose being outside.
The Norwegian Fjord horse is one of the few most hardy and winterworthy
breeds there are! I wonder if it is possibly a disservice to them by overly
coddling them from climactic changes?
