In winter yes. Harry is such a whimp when it comes to cold. It does not take a lot to set him off shivering! I have also clipped his neck and belly off so he does sweat when ridden. When the weather gets nicer in spring they go out naked but when the flies arrive I pop a thin fly sheet on him
Oh, the flies. I remember them. You need some muscovies to chomp those flies! The chickens were always out scratching in the horse droppings. I think it cut down on the flies some, specially the bot flies. They were terrible sometimes. Do you have bot flies there?In winter yes. Harry is such a whimp when it comes to cold.

Yep we have bot flies over here 
I’m always careful to check for eggs. Touch a big piece of wood Harry hasn’t suffered with them. Then again I’m quite liberal with the fly repellent during the warmer months

Oh yes, fly spray in the summer! And picking nits. You are making me relive childhood.

Hope everyone is doing ok?
Still plodding on over here and touching a very large piece of wood we have had no set backs with Keeper
Back at the orthopaedic vets a week on Friday for a check where I’m hoping he says everything is ok.
Been freezing again over here...brrr.... was a bit hairy this morning getting Harry & Branon down to their field! Back to wind and rain though this evening

Gosh if I could, I really would! This seems to have been such a wet winter. I’m ready for a bit of spring
We've been having spring for a few weeks now. Highs in the 70s (22-25) and now were in 60s. Wild plums are in full bloom.
