Things that make you go 'hmmmmm'... The only new thing in my horses' diets is the BOSS I started adding about 6 or 8 weeks ago. My usually bright bay horse (Guy, who is well past his foal shed at age 15 :bgrin ) has black shading coming in and really pronounced counter shading along his spine. I don't mind really, it just makes him look different. I'm just curious what would cause this. All of my black-based horses are darker this spring (and all are getting BOSS), but he is the most dramatic change. Which is fine, just interesting.
The pic of him with the fly mask on was taken last June and that's how he has looked for the 10 years that I've had him. The pic of him hiding from the camera and being a doofus was just taken today. He's about halfway through his shed and looks a bit ratty, but you can kinda see the black hairs. They are all over his neck, and really dark over his shoulders. He has no dun-factor horses in his pedigree.
