    What clip would you recommend??

    I said blanket, but blanket or trace would be fine I imagine. I usually manage to get by clipping twice in a winter, once in october time and once after christmas, but my mare has it all off and has a very fine coat, even in winter.

If a horse decides it doesn't want to do something it won't and theres nothing we as riders can really do about it. They aren't machines. They have a...
