I have recently had occasion to learn to appreciate those hairy legs and body. an Arab/Qh cross mare who is gorgeous and athletic...and also a P.I.T.A. in various ways. Flighty, and all she has to do is touch the pipe panels and she will find some imperfection that she can cut her pretty little coat on. The latest was a cannon bone slice, that took us weeks of doctoring to get rid of. The Fjord hides/fur are so tough that they almost never come up with the usual little dings that the lighter coated horses get. It is true that you need to clip them in the spring and fall so they can actually move without expiring from the heat....but...other than that...the fluffiness is much to be desired. I do not like seeing the Fjords that look like TB crosses...even though I know they sell well.
