<< 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? >>
My guys don't shiver unless they're wet, Torden did it in CA when it was
around 40°, but raining. Here when they get snowed on it melts (they really
do have GREAT winter coats...much fuzzier than any other horses around that
are
out 24/7...they just aren't enough apparently), and then they shiver.
