I think today is suppose to be nice and the rain moves in tomorrow.
Yeah, his coat seems to lose alot of the more yellow/golden tone and turn more white. Maybe that is why the smut shows up more. I've noticed too that on his hips he seems dappled. I've been told that means they are getting too much protein???? I just don't agree with that since I know how much he gets. Not alot. 10%.

Dapples are a healthy and normal thing, I can see them in the pictures. I've never heard of them described as any kind of fault in diet. The pony has dapples that become more prominent during coat changes... Even Bay is mildly dappled and you can see it in some kinds of light.
