lights, blankets, and brewers yeast
- We have show horses so 2 months before show season starts they are kept under lights at night, with a sheet, a sheet hood, a mediums heavy, and a heavy with a heavy hood, (when all they've been wearing all winter was a single heavy, the additional gear gets them to shed out for two reasons, their warm so they drop the hair and the weight on the day sheet makes it act like a full body curry comb.) AND the are fed a scoop of Brewers Yeast (can be ordered from any vet supply) once or twice a day depending on how heavy the coat they need to drop is.

Use an Old Hacksaw Blade
- If you don't have a sheddin' blade, you can use a very dull hacksaw blade. Wrap the ends with duct tape and make sure you don't cut you or your horse.
