It's not that warm all winter, unfortunately. It can get very cold here, well below freezing, we just don't get much snow or ice. We're lucky to get freezing precip once a season. The temps vary widely in winter, not so much in summer.

The horses and dogs do get hot when the weather gets this warm. I've even body clipped George this time of year then put a blanket on him if it gets too chilly. His hair is like thick shag carpet. I could stuff a king size mattress with it when I'm finished clipping him.

Speaking of George, how's he doing?

A guy on the farrier forum just posted that Bay might have Cushings. As if I wasn't worrying enough :~\
