This is how my mare is shedding her winter coat


She is a very light colored Palomino. This is where the winter coat has started to fall out.Believe it or not there is hair there.She is six years old and from the looks of things changing color. I don't believe she is a true Palomino in color.She has gray in her mane and tail and one white spot that only shows in the summer. I thought they changed their color at a younger age.It is going to be interesting to see.As I groomed her yesterday I saw more and more of the darker color.

So a lot of people say that when they shed this much at once it means we are in for one hot Summer. I don't know if that is true or not.But I won't complain after the winter we had this far South. Do you think taht is true or a myth ? Several horses are shedding to the point they look bald in spots but there is a fine cover of fuzz.

The below picture is how she has looked since I bought her.She is fatter now! By the way , her name is Summer!

So a lot has changsd.

For years since all my kids were grown I stopped cooking dinner. For some reason I decided to start back....Boy that first dinner was like a shipwreck!! Everything went wrong and to be honest I did not want to do it.The next few days got easier.Then a car needed work so my husband is out there happily helping,which I don't mind at all.Except for the fact I have a dishwasher I have had for almost a year and it is not hooked up yet!!That seemed to strike a nerve.I stay moody a lot lately,maybe I need hormones!! So I talked to my husband...telling him how things are changing and he said...You sure have been making some good supper honey...I couldn't help but bust out laughing .I had been neglecting him.Not to mention the kids that are here with me so that made me feel better.Once I read this it sounds kind of stupid of me huh? But you have to know that for several years I have done my own thing so the change up,which is a small one,seemed huge to me!I can still work in what I want to do.I have a new Grand daughter that is just beautiful.She is a week old.There is another one on the way.I have two Grandsons.I love them all dearly. I have horses which I have put aside for the time being.My husband,and sons have been taking care of them.They need grooming something bad! They are shedding out their winter coats.They are in the barn today so maybe I can get out there and work on them and their stalls.
Anyway..no one probably wants to read this but I thought I thought it was worth posting!
