Rambo makes a blanket called Rambo XL for the fuller bodied horse that is wider

Robin,
should I do the same here in TN? If so;
which parts do you clip, how short do you clip it? (Like down to the skin or

It seems you could just do a trace clip or maybe just the underside of the
neck and chest. I think Lisa Pedersen has some pictures of her Fjords

We live in Northern MN where it can go down to -40 degrees. We don't even
own a blanket. They are out 24/7 and also have access to a stall when it gets
bad, but I think they prefer to stay out most of the time.
The problem is in warmer climates where

I don't blanket my Fjords here in Fairbanks, Alaska, even at -50. They
will have enough coat to keep them warm and it will fluff up to trap

If the weather is RAINY and COLD and WINDY, then we check for shivering.
If there aren't any shivers, then we feed plenty of hay and don't worry

the wind.
