This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anita, have you ever noticed that stallions have a different texture coat than geldings? Weaver's stallion Anvil's Rikolv, when he was here, had a shorter, coarser textured coat than the geldings and mares and shed out earlier, and I notice the same thing with Brunner's Stallion, Pipestone Boomer's Ander. But when Brunners got Ander as a yearling, he was terribly thin, malnurished and the size of a six month weanling. His coat was extremely long and shaggy, just as you said, malnurishment caused this. Now he is a mature stallion and has the shortest winter coat of their herd, with that "harder" texture, and he sheds out earlier.
Has anybody else observed a difference in their stallions' winter coat compared to non stallions? Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska >Leidjo did have a short fuzzy coat in the winter.
