Are horses usually more tired and vulnerable in each molting period?
The term "molting" applies to animals who have feathers like wild birds and chickens. They go through a period of time when they lose all their feathers and then grow new ones. Since horses do not have feathers they do not "molt". They do shed when it is time to grow either a thicker winter coat or a shorter summer one. Since shedding does not take any extra energy from the horse it does not make them more tired or vulnerable.

When crayfish outgrow their shells, they undergo a process called molting, where they shed their old exoskeleton to allow for growth. During this process, the crayfish may become vulnerable to predators, as it takes time for the new shell to harden. After molting, the crayfish will gradually develop a larger, more robust exoskeleton. This cycle of growth and molting is essential for their survival and development.
