This message is from: Kay Van Natta Same in SE MI. Braveheart (son of the beauteous Malcom) and Bogie are also tooling up for winter by unloading their summer suits. The local birds are pleased though...we're providing a great supply of nest liner.

RE: Summer-fall
This message is from: "Mary Ofjord" We've noticed that some of our horses are shedding out their short summer coats already. Others have not begun to shed.

Zoe is usually a few weeks behind. Do all breeds do this summer shedding? I can't remember what my TBs & Appys did. Any of you with better memories or currently have other breeds know about this?

Re: Summer-fall
This message is from: Kathleen Spiegel hair growth and shedding cycles are triggered by light/dark ratios. According to the astronomical definitions the first day of fall is about the 5th of august ( halfway to the fall equinox and where the loss of daylight becomes faster) In northern climes, where our horses came from by the calendar start of fall nights are cold . leaves have changed, grass has stopped growing and winter is coming. so hair growth needs to be well ahead of temps since it grows relatively slowly. I notice a change in my guys texture of their coat by about the first or second week in august and it is no longer the sleek summer coat by the first of september. The thoutoughbred and the mule do not really change until at least a month later but if you look closely you can see the winter coat coming in.. The fact that our temps are still in the 90s and have not been cooling off at night generally has no effect on hair growth.
