>>>>> And I have found some of them DO get more lethargic in the autumn (september, usually) when the main coat-growing is done. Just my own experience.
Sure. But the "saga" is that they get lethargic because they are growing the hair, as if the process of growing hair is zapping their energy. My horses will act lethargic when they are HOT...regardless of the season, or whether the coat is actively coming in, or if we have an unusually hot day in January. The ones who get clipped don't act that way, unless I clip them too early, and too much coat grows back in before cold weather. That blows the hair-growing-theory to me. Karen Thomas, NC
