Hey this is great info, thanks for starting the thread!! I am actually thinking of shaving Sammy now, or at least soon - did a short 4 mile hike mid 60's in the sun recently and it was pretty warm, he definitely got hot as well as on our E WA desert trip a week ago. I'm in western WA so the night temps are fairly moderate now at low elevation.
I was thinking of shaving his main body, and the bottom of his belly where he has a really long/thick black "ruff" (he's an Ober.) He enjoys a massage and is used to noise so maybe this will work, altho crawling under his belly with clippers hmm... could get interesting! I kind of like the idea of leaving an "integrated saddle pad" by not shaving the area the saddle goes. Good tip about the spine.
5/8" - 3/4" - OK got it, more goat shopping...
