[QUOTE="chippie, post: 667769, member: 5644"] You post gave me a bit of a lightbulb moment :idea: I realized that the people who keep their cattle in coolers also control the amount of light the cattle receive thus controlling the body's clock. They limit the amount of light so that the animal's clock thinks that it is winter. I bought a filly in who was kept in a climate controlled barn. The lights were bright and on for about 14 hours (like summer) year 'round. She had a really short fine hair coat. It didn't take long for her to grow her winter coat in early March, even though we had mild to warm temps. She is finally shedding now in June. I can't help with the hair except to follow the advice about brushing forwards daily, Use a rice root brush. When you wear it out, buy another. [/QUOTE]
