Apolo is definitely feeling lighter — and much more comfortable.
With daytime temperatures consistently above 20°C, his winter coat had simply become too much. He was constantly sweaty and itchy, and clearly not at his best. Now he’s feeling fresh, smart and, dare we say, even a little slimmer 😁
Clipping isn’t just about appearance — it’s a matter of welfare. When horses can’t cool down properly, they overheat, sweat excessively, their skin becomes irritated and uncomfortable, and that can lead to further issues.
The nights are still chilly, so Apolo has his rug on to keep him cosy and comfortable.
Vivaldi has had his trim too — next up: Verdi, Venus and Thowra.
