Already got that one covered! Our senior mare Pet the Pill (registered name is I.B. Paranoide) is covered with what we affectionately refer to as "bunny nose". She is SOFT, never hairs up much in the winter, just gets a more dense, short downy coat of lovely roan chestnut hair - FURRY! All four of her kids so far have the same coat, though her one filly is the most like mom, with her short silky thick fur. No long winter beards or hairy legs on this bunch, they look good all winter.
Oh, color variety - Pet is a sabino, her daughter is by a colored TB, two boys by the bay stud Raisor's Edge, and one Irish Draught Sporthorse who popped true loud bay roan sabino with the broad blaze and rabicano tail. Flashy! and soft, too.
