This timelapse footage shows the satisfying four-hour process a horse owner goes through when shaving their pets' winter coats off.

The horse living in Boonsboro, Maryland, has equine Cushing's disease meaning the animal suffers from excess hair growth and the inability to shed its coat.

The filmer explained on a Reddit post: "Since he can't shed his coat on his own, he gets manual intervention and I clip his coat down in the spring and often again mid-summer; last year he began growing a heavy coat in mid-August."

This footage was filmed on March 28.

The horse is getting his winter coat removed - he has Cushing's, which prevents him from shedding out his fuzzy coat like a normal horse, so I help him out by giving him a full body clip so he's not roasting in the summer heat. It's a timelapse of approximately four hours of real time work.
