White's bad, but Black's no better, just different. They look horrible when they roll in the dust, plus black hair "sunburns" and gets red looking. Bay and sorrel are definately the most "low maintenance", at least here in this red Alabama clay soil.
Hey, you may be someone who can help me out here.
Rusty's coat, IMO, is looking really drab, dull. He gets wormed every month, so I don't think that is the problem. I realize he is a puny horse, and this may be tied up with having ulcers, or other issues. I asked at the feed store the other day what to feed him to shine him up some, and the guy recommended this oil stuff. But he also said that roan's don't shine much???? I swear even being puny he had shine every other summer I had him. His coat feels soft not corse, he just doesn't seem to have much shine, altho his black stockings look shiny and slick. Is it that he hasn't finished shedding and this is still winter coat do you think?
I really probably need to do bloodwork on this horse again...sigh, more money on what seems to be never ending problems.
And I hate pouring anythink on his feed,,,he is sooooo picky. I top dress all the horses feed with that 12-12=12 mineral poweder, they all eat it right up, he doesn't touch it. It's always in the bottom of his bucket, now does that mean he doesn't like it, or he doesn't need it??? He does that with ANY THING I add to his feed.
He makes me crazy:)

Sarah Lee is sorrel. Her left side stays clean but she looks like a mud bucket on the right side.
