Have you ever wondered why horses start shedding again in late summer? Nothing is wrong with your horse nor are they super late shedders. The hair that is shedding out during the late summer months is very fine and once gone will allow for the horse’s winter coat to come in

A horse’s shedding/growing coat cycle is triggered by the sun. When the days begin to grow shorter, the horse’s body knows it’s time to start preparing for the winter months and begins to shed out the “summer coat” in preparation for the winter coat. And once spring hits and the days begin to grow longer, the horse will shed out its winter coat.
