To clip or not to clip?! I didn’t clip last winter as we weren’t doing a lot. This winter, although I can’t ride Monday-Friday I’m hoping to be able to ride Saturday and Sunday. Now I’ve been working him harder this year (lots of jumping, last year we were just hacking).

Now said horse is a tb, doing less work over winter means he keeps his weight on although if I could ride I would (sadly no lights in school).

Is it worth me clipping him when he is only really going to get warm one day a week?

If I clip him will it make him fresh?! What about if I just took a teeny tiny low neck off?

Or instead of clipping should I just fork out for a thermatex?

If I don’t give him a ‘proper’ clip, would it be odd if I just clipped the underneath of him where his girth goes as this area always got lots of mud clinging to it last year..?
