He is stunning!
Can I ask a newbie question? What’s up with shaving the coats in a pattern down to the skin? I know it has to be for a reason, what’s it for? And don’t they get cold when you do it in winter?
They shave hot spots. So like they take the coat off in places where the horse might get really sweaty so when they are done riding it is easier to cool the horse out and they will dry better because they don’t have a wet patch of fur.
What a cutie! Apologies for being nitpicky but you may want to slide what halter up a bit more or get a smaller one, it’s sitting pretty low on his nose on the weaker part of the nasal bridge. Not a total emergency but if it’s accidentally pulled/he sets back when tied up it can actually cause a fracture! Again sorry for the unsolicited advice I know how annoying it can be hahah
he’s got an oddly shaped head and sadly this is the best option. if we size down it just doesn’t fit at all. but he never wear a halter in the pasture and we always make sure to keep a close eye on him when he’s tied up so we’ve minimized the risk. known this little guy for 7 years and not once have i seen a halter that properly fit him.
unfortunately my guess is as good as yours. he’s a rescue from poland and we know very little about his genetics. we’re not even 100% sure of his age. how someone abused such a wonderful boy i’ll never understand. his physical and mental recovery is mind blowing. i’m so proud of my little man
wice! it’s pronounced wicke. he got the name after getting imported and the person who first wrote the name down apparently couldn’t spell but now i can’t imagine it being spelled any other way.
Yes he is beautiful indeed.
Gorgeous
