Resolved Question: Does an elderly, unclipped fell pony need a turnout rug?
My fell pony is a hardy wee soul and spends about 99% of the year outside in all weather. He has never had a turnout rug and has never been clipped so his coat is lovely and thick He is getting on in years (27 yrs) though and I'm considering getting him a turnout rug for the colder weather. I was planning on only using the coat in extremely cold conditions but I've been told by various people that this will seriously weaken his natural coat. Is this the case? moreResolved Question: During winter when is it best to you rug a pony?
