I had my grey horse clipped in January, they clipped him with a very fine blade and his coat has not grown back, he has a pink pigment, I am really worried that his coat will never grow back properly,

Most horse I know re-grow their coat after a couple of weeks even, Except Pink, who was clipped (just a bib clip) in October and STILL is totally bald :rolleyes: She won't re-grow until her summer coat come in, which is just starting.

Possibly you're horse is the same - as long as they summer coat wasn't damaged (shouldn't have been in january) then then he'll just be bald until the summer coat comes through. ;)

I think the weather has been so bad this year the horses are confused in their coats!!!!! I wouldnt worry it wasnt too late to clip in Jan so it should come back with the summer coat!!!!!!!

My horses coat hadnt hardly grown back and he was clipped November!!!
Have you got him in heavy rugs? i think that would slow the growth down??
