Anyone clip their 'Cushings' in winter?

[Baked Bean]

Do you clip your horse/pony with Cushings in winter and if so, does the coat grow back quickly and also, is it hard to keep them warm?

clip mine every 3 weeks summer and winter, if i dont he grows a coat like a highland cow!!

clip the cushionoid ones all year round on an as required basis and rug according to temp of horse and weather!

I clip Motor otherwise he resembles a Hereford Cow

... I rug him up really well to ensure he keeps warm though

Not sure what I would do if he lived out, however as most of them require limited grass intake, then I presume most will be stabled over Winter.

As Cushings horses can be prone to skin conditions, then he is better without his coat. I am lucky enough to still be able to ride him, so it stops him getting too hot as well

I do not find it grows back quicker, however it takes until July to lose his Winter coat, just in time for his Winter coat to come through from August

Hope your horse is doing well?

Same over here!

Mind you, I don't clip him that often, but it really needs doing every 4-5 weeks!
