Hello
First off I am going to introduce myself and my horses. My name is Elizabeth Conder. I live in west Texas where it is much like a desert and you never know what the weather is going to be like. I have one stallion, Little Americas Secrets Crescendo. He is a bay appaloosa with Silver Meadows Phantom Storm and Orion Light Vant Huttenest bloodlines. I also have three mares, Rocky Top Aristocratic Belle Star (YP Branch of Africa, Boones Little Buckaroo), Aristocratic Big City Rhapsody (Gold Melody Boy, Boones Little Buckaroo twice), and Aristocratic Big City Flower Power (Boones Little Buckaroo, Lazy N Booger Man).
Here's my question, we have had some rather crazy weather for this time of the year. It has been in the 80's-90's during the day and mid 40's at night. One of my girls has a THICK winter coat. It is probably 3-4 inches long and she is not quite 30 inches. So she just stands there and sweats all day. I have been hosing her down but that only works for a short while. I don't really want to clip them this early because you never know with Texas weather, but I sure don't like watching them sweating so much. What would yall do?
Thanks
