I never had any problems but try not to clip their legs close and except for the very old mare I have now, did not clip my other two fjords in the summer. In my experience, it seems that compared to other horses, fjords are less likely to get skin problems with their legs I assumed because of the thickness of the hair and skin. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but their skin is thicker than other horses which you can tell when you try to give them an injection. You really have to be committed to get the needle quickly through the skin of a fjord.
