Spring is here, and if your horse looks like a shaggy yak, congratulations—you’ve made it through another winter! But now it’s time to help them shed that winter coat and get ready for warmer weather.

In this episode, we’ll cover:
 ✅ Why horses shed (hint: it’s about daylight, not temperature!)
 ✅ The best tools & techniques to speed up the process
 ✅ How grooming supports overall skin health, circulation, and bonding

Top Shedding Tips:
✔️ Maximize natural light – More daylight = better shedding response
✔️ Support with nutrition – Omega-3s, protein, and minerals like zinc & copper improve coat health
✔️ Groom regularly – Curry combs, shedding blades, and grooming gloves are your best friends
✔️ Watch for uneven shedding – If your horse isn’t shedding properly, check with your vet for possible health concerns

🐎 Plus, we’ll talk about clipping pros & cons, how to check for skin & body condition, and why grooming is more than just maintenance—it’s bonding time!
