Linda from Kittanning, PA asks: My 26 yr.old mare has cushings and takes medicine but she is now shedding in hand fulls. My question is should I curry her out,this is only Feb. and very cold in PA.
Hi Linda,
I grew up in upstate New York, so I have some experience with cold, wet weather. Since spring is still a ways off, I'd let the shedding process continue on its own. Hopefully your mare is in good flesh and has a layer of insulation (fat) covering her body. The other source of winter warmth for your mare is calories. The fermentation process that takes place in the gut generates heat, as does muscular activity, including shivering. Therefore supply a hearty diet in keeping with your mares Cushing's Disease and with her body condition. You should also be certain to provide adequate or even luxurious shelter. During those times of particularly bad weather (or even for the majority of the time until spring arrives) I would advise using a heavy duty blanket with a waterproof/breathable shell (sometimes referred to as a New Zealand Blanket). If you do end up using the blanket for the majority of the time, then combing out your mare is probably preferable. The other choice we have not mentioned, is to move to California or Florida! Cheers, Dr. Smith
