exploded. I'm practicing ba

OK, remember the procedure for defeathering a goose? Dip them in melted
wax, or hot water with melted wax floating on top..then let the wax
harden..then peel off the feathers. Maybe I could do something like that,
slather with warm wax,

Hi All,
Braveheart is definitely shedding...as he does around this time every

He just looks at me, snorts and 423 more hairs fall out.

Hi All,
I've only got one Fjord and he's my first so I've made my winter
decisions based mostly on reading and what I can only hope is good advice.

has inherited a very nice winter blanket from his AQHA predecessor but has
never worn it.

Tank starts getting his winter coat in August and starts his first shed in
January - Omaha or Las Cruces. Daylight must have more to do with it than
temperature. Teddy & Nigel started shedding at the same time.

No, in fact mine just started getting his thick winter coat about a month
ago. He was in a stall for 2 months (November and part of December). Now
