I can only blanket a fjord if a) the are penned or stabled solo, and b) for
short periods of time, as they think it's great fun to "shred the binkie"!
Usually it's only a sheet, to keep them clean. I think these horses hair up
quite well,thank you, and any insulated blanket is kind of a joke, kind of
like a seal in a wet suit.
When I am going into winter/fall, and want to keep up the workload or
compete, I do a good old fashioned trace clip, in essence creating a blanket
out of the top 2/3 of their body hair, but clipping out the belly,chest, and
underside of neck. Looks really cool if done right, and you CAN go wild,if
you are the creative type, (and what weegee owner isn't?),and do snazzy
designs on flanks and hips...Great fun for those who love to clip.
Tonite I will turn on my electric blanket for the 2nd time in a
month...BRRRR!
Karen
