-- ok. What is a ventril line?

the center line of a horse's belly from his sheath to his chest.
Horses are usually bitten by insects, especially gnats, in a
concentrated area just where the hair starts in the center of the
belly above the sheath. You know how there is no hair
together in a line down the center of the belly.
thats the ventril line.

Most of the horses here and at Creekside are wearing waterproof turnout
blankets. The three Icelandics and a handful of others are not blanketed,
strictly a personal choice, I doubt they really need the blankets, but it
makes the owners feel better.
Tosca has a typically heavy winter coat.
Hi Nancy
If I needed to blanket, then what blanket manufacture are others liking?
If we have to blanket this is our blanket of choice - we have a fleece
cooler and these blanket really let horses stretch their necks down so there
is no pressure on the withers or shoulder - they act like a wrap
. How cold/wet is it where you are?
Thanks for the link.
We live at Applegate Oregon, a tiny (store, church, school) farming
community in a valley formed by the Applegate river. The surrounding
mountains protect us and create a nice temperate zone - as compared to

We have a beautiful platform for artwork that we are not taking advantage
of!
Let's see what we can do with our horses' coats and making beautiful

wonderfully beautiful for a while.

I had to clip Tivar today, he was sweating too much. Last year this
time when i clipped him he danced, flattened his ears, cocked his foot
one time as if to kick at me, gave one little half rear and then
settled in grudgingly, obviously hating it. then spring, the same but
a little better. i
I realized late yesterday afternoon that Charm was sweating, so it was time
to bring out the clippers!

I've been contemplating a simple clip for Andi when he
gets home from training, but we get nights in the
teens and below frequently in the winter, and if their
belly/chest/neck were clipped, wouldn't they be cold there?

I've been getting quite a few emails about clipping Icelandics for the
winter, and whether to blanket or not.
I tend to clip in a way that I don't need to blanket (and our winters are
not that cold), but I'm sure many people do have to blanket.
Question is, what type of blankets? what size?

I just want to say--- i thought it critical my iceys be clipped early
fall as soon as they start growing winter coat cause it doesnt get
cold here for a while--- but now I find this early winter coat is
doing marvels at keeping itchy bugs off them! They need it here for
this reason. So the

I really like the Andis T84 the best. If I can't get it I use an number 10.
The Andis T84 leaves the hair just a fraction longer. I also like the wide
blades because clipping goes a lot faster.

I think that braiding the mane would be very helpful to the horse also.

Hi...I am new to the group. My name is Kathleen.
I want to make a comment that i have been reading about the importance
of body clipping Icelandics ( from John Parke) and i am absolutely
amazed at the difference this has made in my mare. I bought the Double
KK clippers and she FLIES up the
