Here near Chattanooga, Tennessee, my horses get pretty darn thick coated. Aagot was downright shaggy as a yearling, like a Shetland Pony, hence her nickname will always be 'Shaggy'. Aagot's gets long enough to blow in the wind and Dorina's is like a plush rug with a bit of a wave over the rump! But the adult horses coats aren't that much longer than some other horses I see about the countryside, but I suspect they are a lot thicker. Their adult coats are no where as long as the Fjords winter coats I've seen in some photos from Northern climes. All the same, I suspect they over prepare for the South's winter weather. >>><<< Meredith Sessoms >>><<< Soddy-Daisy. Tennessee. USA >>><<< Dorina & NFR Aagot
