LOL! My old mare, Nansy, was a champion shedder. My husband and I would put her in the barn aisle (concrete, so easily swept up), and each start on one side of her, with different tools (shedding blade or wire dog-slicker brush). When we had each "finished" our side, we would swap sides---and our different tools/techniques would get more hair out of the already "done" side! When we finished, there was so much hair on the floor that I had to make several "gathers"---far more than I could transport to the trash barrel with only two hands! A couple of days later, we would do it all over again.... There were weeks when I would accuse her of growing it faster than we could brush it out. ;-) Marsha Jo Hannah Murphy must have been a horseman-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] anything that can go wrong, will! 15 mi SW of Roseburg, Oregon The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
