Winter Coat, still there.

Has he previously been kept under lights? That's what happened with my horse- I got him this winter, and at his old barn he was kept in a heated barn under lights, and it's taking him forever to shed out after growing a winter coat. I feel your pain

nope. He wasn't kept under lights. he was pretty much kept in a shed thing, with a attached pasture. and didn't do anything. haha what a rude awaking for him now too. cuz he is exercised daily now, and is a show horse. he was before, but not like this. lol.

Regal's still a hairy monster while Ebony- whose got 11 years on him- has been shed out for weeks! I mean, I love having the curls stick around, and he IS shedding copious amounts, but I'm just a little concerned.

i would try the slick in easy to it worked great for me and also my friends tb is not shedding out at all from to many drugs at a young age but she is putting flax in his feed just to get rid of his coat and it is working pretty good cause he wasnt shedding before then.

Rug him up!

wait for a hot hot day. work him really good til he gets sweaty and then after you untack him start currying. He should shed a lot of hair if he is hot and sweaty.

^ Agree with reiner girl! I also recommend a curry combe twice a day! That will work! good luck!

have him get all matted up with mud and let harden dry.....yes I'm serious! Then you curry it off, you'd be amazed how much hair comes off O_O Also working him up into a sweat, let dry and currying will also help. The best is a good scrub in a bath but weather doesn't always permitt that
