>>>> I notice your low trace clip on her, and I know it gets cold in NC - will you blanket her at night? Is she on turnout 24 hours? Is her belly clipped?
I won't blanket her. I clipped her from the line you see, all the way down, completely under her belly. I did a pretty close clip about a month ago - it was probably about 1/4" then. The coat is well over 1/2" long, maybe closer to 3/4", and I suspect it will grow a little more, so she has some protection from the cold. She's out 24x7 - the only night I ever remember her staying in a stall all night was the night Landi was born. I'm sure she would have delivered him in the paddock, but we had the remains of a tropical storm come through the night he was born - it rained about 5" that night, so the paddock was more like a lake!
