I know with this warmer weather we've been having, most of you have been trading in your heavy winter coats for your lighter spring jackets...I know I have! Much like your pet dogs and cats, horses shed their thicker winter coats for their sleeker summer coats as the seasons change. But unlike humans, it is not a direct result of warmer temperatures.
