Foal's losing hair..
He's just over 3 weeks and he appears to be losing his hair around his muzzle and eye area...it has gone from being a fluffy fawn colour...to now a black smooth colour...is it just him losing coat (he is quite fluffy) looks a bit strange

Re: Foal's losing hair..
He's just starting to moult out of his fluffy foal clothes! This is when you get a better idea of his adult colour, he will probably look a bit moth eaten for a while.

[/ QUOTE ] Thank you I should have expected this as he is meant to be bay not a little fawn coloured fluff ball...just did'nt expect it to happen this quickly  just thought he'd chafed his muzzle when he attacks mums milkbar thank you for putting my mind at rest that he does'nt have some hair eating disease

Re: Foal's losing hair..
hello!
Curly did that at about 3 weeks too and started to lose hair on her muzzle and int eh middle of her whorls - so much so that she almost looked like she had ringworm! Luckily it soon passed though! Anyway, Rio is now 3 weeks and we haven't seen piccies in a while, please can we see some (even if he is looking a bit strange to quote you!). bye!
