Unfortunately, she always needs a full body clip because she sweats out of places I swear no horse should ever sweat out of. Fortunately, she's a native, so she's quite happy to live out in a normal winter blanket without any trouble. My TB is a different story - I count on a sharp shedding comb and a lot of elbow grease to keep his coat in check; clipping that sensitive, ticklish monster would be quite the Mission: Impossible.Firnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805076661186739474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-35549916582550062612013-12-26T15:43:21.768-07:002013-12-26T15:43:21.768-07:00I've been on the fence about clipping for abou...I've been on the fence about clipping for about a month, but your no-nonsense "why" section makes me realize that I simply don't need to do it and therefore shouldn't. Also, good point about asking the trainer their thoughts on clipping! I wouldn't have thought about that but it's so important.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925650148327532110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-58901985264784937692013-12-24T08:20:20.757-07:002013-12-24T08:20:20.757-07:00I'm into clipping if the horse is going to swe...I'm into clipping if the horse is going to sweat. In Florida, I don't have to clip Lex because she didn't grow that much hair and it rarely gets too cold to hose. Plus, she's not in heavy work. We had to clip my girlfriend's horse because he did grow hair. When Lex and I go to Ohio, I'm just going to wait and see what happens. I'm hoping she won't need clipping - it's going to be a winter of light flatwork, and again, not a lot of hair - but if she needs it, she'll get it. And I'll be revisiting your clipper review because my antique Osters have gotta go.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275971301824881125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-26994525532952941942013-12-24T05:47:12.194-07:002013-12-24T05:47:12.194-07:00This is a great post for both horsey and non-horse...This is a great post for both horsey and non-horsey people! I really liked that you didn't make a distinct argument one way or the other; you just explained the benefits/risks of clipping (or not). Two thumbs up :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297192461648201907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-48133846050839589392013-12-24T00:05:05.952-07:002013-12-24T00:05:05.952-07:00Great info on clipping!
