At the time, she had a very short, coarse, thin coat and she was pretty miserable when it snowed or got windy. <br />I vowed to buy her a blanket if she had any problems keeping warm last winter, but she ended up growing in a fine, thick, soft fur coat, just as she did this year. And since we don't show or compete and she needs her fur to help her adjust to the weather fluctuations naturally, I let her keep every last inch of it.<br /><br />She's out 24/7 with access to her barn stall and some trees if she wants to get out of the wind or weather, but she loves to be outside instead. But Apache doesn't shiver like she did that first winter, and she is warm and cozy under her thick fur coat. I wouldn't dream of clipping her now.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748401488113955101.post-50833473604530398032012-01-23T13:40:18.528-05:002012-01-23T13:40:18.528-05:00Too bad you didn't get a picture of her modeli...Too bad you didn't get a picture of her modeling her bigger blanket. I'm sure she was cozy in it. We only gave Mellon that particular clip this year. He was so sweaty all the time, I guess since he's gotten older his hair grows more than it used to. He doesn't have Cushings, he was checked but he does look like a hairy yak.
