I wanted to add this post here, as I did see the post where problems were caused between mom and baby with body clipping a foal still on mom. I have a 10 month old jennet, so that's not an issue here, however, I have a couple of questions, since this is my first donkey foal experience.
How long do they keep this long coat? She still has a very long coat, which from what I've observed, is normal for donkey foals. But how long do they tend to keep this baby coat?
Second question, if I wanted to body clip her, is there any harm in doing so? As with any adults I would body clip, I'd apply the fly spray more often, but not only do I think she'd be more comfortable without all that hair, I'd really LOVE to see what's underneath it all now!
I just wanted to get input on clipping a soon to be yearling.
