Well, I live in the Great Northwet. My ponies at home who are not getting
worked are completely fine with their own fur for either hard rain or snow.
We have lots of wind as well. They do have shelters they can run in to. So
no blankets at home. The fjords tha

Great! Thanks!
You've confirmed that I haven't been torturing my kids! I have five fjords
and a Missouri Fox Trotter, who hates rain! I do bring them in at night when
it's really nasty, probably more for my benefit than theirs.

I guess I'll chime in on the blanketing issue. My take on it is this: unless
you are really using your horses in steady work over the winter, and clip them
so they can cool & dry off, then yes, you should blanket them.
Otherwise NO, this breed of horse does n

Oh gosh, Amy..and I would not want to sell a horse to someone who does not
get it that the cost of the horse is the least of the expense.
To ask someone to sell a $6500 horse (and well worth it from your description)
for $1000 is insulting and, dare I say,

I'm not a seller (of horses, anyway), but as a once-and-future buyer, I'm

We'd had to clip Amber, even being on pergolide, her coat is/was thick in the

Hi,
I don't blanket very often. I have checked on many rainy days. I lift the
fluff of hair up and it is dry at the roots!
I will blanket for a day, sometimes when it has been extremely wet, and if
we get a cold icy wind with the rain. My horses have fr

Thought I'd give my 2 cents worth on the topic of "lots of fjords for sale".
I would agree with Deb Ulrich, Fjords are still selling and for a good
price. The market is soft, folks are VERY careful about spending any extra
money but a good horse will
