This message is from: Janine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi this Janine in Victoria, B.C. I have two fjords and I wouldn't dream of clipping their whiskers or eye lashes, only the "goat hairs" under the chin and throat, (I love the way that was put). I clip these so I can do up the nose band without pull

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I live in Southern, CA but it does not seem to stop Fjords from growing a thick winter coat despite year around average temperatures of 70 degrees. It can be 80 degrees in January. I find clipping a necessity rather than cosmetic. A horse worked hard in a
