Equestrian Journey: Gotta Love The Furminator!

Gotta Love The Furminator!

I am not paid to endorse this product. I'm just sharing my experience. I wish my furminator had not gone missing for so long because it works GREAT on Chrome!! I took pictures as proof. :D

These next two shots are of Chrome's hairy (and curly which I love!) withers . . .

This is me running the Furminator through his fur for the first time. You may have to click to enlarge the image to see how much fur it's picking up.

These show how much fur it picks up after just a couple of strokes.

And here is the result after less than five minutes of brushing.

One with my boot in the picture for comparison (keep in mind I have big feet lol).

And his cute little withers after its all done. :D

Sorry the pictures are small. I accidentally had it on the medium picture size setting when I uploaded them. Oops. :)

Wow, I could do with one of those for my dogs. Three German Shepherds lose a serious amount of fur this time of year!

I didn't know Chrome was so fuzzy. That is a lot of floof!

I get furminated too!

I've seen the furminator on several of the dog blogs and have been thinking about getting one for the corgis. They have the undercoat of a German Shepherd. I'd never thought of using it on the horses. I've always used that saw-toothed de-shedder for horses. Our horses are really starting to shed out too now! The Palomino is about half cream and half gold now...

Name: Led Zeppelin
Nicknames: Zep
Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
