Now I know that other California folks are blanketing their Fjords..(Gail
Russell, what's your rationale for blanketing?) so maybe there is a reason
to that I don't know of. LOL

I can try and answer this one, from our experience also blanketing some in
So. Calif. The reason we did on occasion blanket ours was not the extreme
temps. but the ranges of highs to lows between morning, noon, 4 PM and 2 AM.
We could ( and did ) for a few months of the year, experience 87 degree
winter days, while the temps would drop to the 40's at night. Those changes
in hot to cold, caused them to both sweat and shiver in the same time frame.
Of course now here in UT. we do not even think of blanketing ours, even with
the snow and cold months, but we do not get any 45 * temp. changes either.
Mine used to hair up for winter in Sep. just in time to show at the big ADS
LA Co. Fair driving show.....at 105 * in the mid-day sun, with all that hair.
We did not ever clip....prefering to tailor our training times to accomadate
the hair coats. Hope this answers your questions about those " crazy "
Californians blanketing !
Lisa Pedersen * Cedar City, warm, rainy with fires
burning all around UT tonight. Hope Jeff gets home without getting called out
on one, as we are leaving for LIBBY on Sun. AM.
