He has a doona from newmarket on. Best rugs i've ever bought, he is very far from being cold :] I have a pure wool under-rug to put on, but he hasn't been getting cold yet, so I may not even need it. That would be typical, waste of a new rug
I clipped him because I compete full weekends nearly every weekend throughout winter, it's the main mounted games season. Its impossible to cool him off enough in between sessions with all that hair on, and he is much more comfortable cooling off easy than staying damp and sweaty. He still has furry legs and beard, so he's all good :]
I took him to a SJ comp a week ago, and ended up getting high-point in D grade, very good effort for his second SJ comp! So now we go up to C, which will be good. I think he has the scope to make at least B, maybe A with consistent jump work. Very proud of my boy :]
