Expert Posts: 1898	My questions are probably dumb to some but I really have no idea if their skin care needs are different. Long story short, I am doing what I swore I said I would never do and buy a cremello horse. It is actually a pony and I think it is exactly what we have been searching for, with exception to it's color. Is there anything that needs to be done differently with them? Do they burn? She has two blue eyes so she will have a flymask but what about the rest of her? Does her muzzle need sunscreen? Edited by cyount2009 2016-02-29 1:02 PM

The white areas may be sensitive just the same as any other horse. Mine live outside 24/7 without fly masks and have had no problems. Congrats on your new pony!!!!!

I had one & she wore a fly mask if she was out during the day & I used a powdered sunscreen " http://www.myponysunblock.com/" & it works wonderful. The best thing is turning them out at night & keeping them stalled during the day, but if that doesn't fir your schedule, use the fly mask & sunscreen & put a fly sheet on them. Hope this helped you.

I have noticed that he will burn much worse & faster while tied to the trailer (reflection) so we do use sunscreen & mask while traveling. Also, his manly parts have sunburned badly before.
