Generally hardy. Watch for laminitis, melanomas (in greys), and inguinal hernias in stallions.
Care tips
Strong, upright pasterns and good hooves — but barefoot transitions still need patience.
Long, thick manes and tails benefit from daily detangling and protective braiding.
Sensitive skin under heavy mane; check for sweat scald in summer.
Tend toward laminitis on rich grass — manage like an easy keeper.
