I would really like to know how many times since I've been on this list that, in the Spring and Fall, someone writes in with the lethargic, panting, dragging, not themselves worry about their Icelandic and after they give them a body clip, it's like a miracle cure. It is always the first advice I would give anyone. Just go out and run in a sweatsuit in 80+ degree heat and see how you feel. The people I talk to about Icelandics I always tell them that a good set of horse clippers is a must have piece of equipment unless you live in Canada. Of course, this will not cure anhydrous, but if they have that problem, it would be all the more reason to clip them.
