Anyone clipped more than once yet?

[K9Wendy]

Clipped Bee on 16th Sept then again on 12th Oct so only 4 weeks apart but there was a lot of growth and she was starting to sweat up again. Noticed last night she is sweating again and starting to get a bit hairy. She is good to clip, I don't mind clipping but now wondering just how often I am going to have to clip her this year.

I know showjumpers are clipped regularly, but what is regular, every 4 weeks?

Last year she was out longer, ridden less and not as fit so only had an Irish clip, but she is fit now, ridden 5 - 6 times a week & competes once a week. She is in a hunter clip..

Trike will get his 2nd clip of the winter later this week (if it stops raining

). He's a woolly monster already and was done about 5 weeks ago I reckon

Girl on our yard did her second clip on Sunday - my new clippers arrived yesterday, so armed with sedalin I will be attacking the Donkey on Saturday!!!!!!!

My three girls have just had there second clip, two have hunter, previously chaser clips, other one is chaser clipped again. Only four ish weeks since they were first done.

When we team chased one of mine was clipped every four/five weeks.

Mine has had 2 full clips and will need another in 2 weeks! He needs clipping every 3 - 4 weeks up to beginning of january however much you rug him! Oh and gets horrible rashes if he gets too hot so no excuse not to do it

Hi
I was only saying last night about clipping Paris again it’s only been 5weeks and she is like a bear!! Would it be to soon though??

Hunting starts this Saturday!! x

I have clipped my cob 3 times already this winter. Mind you he is good as gold to be clipped so not a big issue!

 

[K9Wendy]

So not unusual then? I love the fresh clipped look anyway. Bee HATES being hot, so only have a L/W on her and she is still rubbing it along the walls & hedges, would be tempted to turnout naked only she has no protection from rain. It is just starting to get a little cooler at night but nothing major! So looks like we will clip again..

I've never had to clip more than once a year before, but did him last week of september and he is a hairy monster again already so going to do again this weekend!

 

[madgirl]

Max was done 5 weeks ago as is being re-done next weekend, Sparks was done 4 weeks ago and is being re-done on sunday, Bob was only done last sunday...

 

[RunToEarth]

Coloured is on his third, Chesty on first and Bay on 2nd. Coloured is only one I have rule over and I am one of those that would rather (and has time to) clip mine every couple of weeks.

 

[helenandshadow]

i did my mare about 4 weeks ago and i'm doing her again on friday

 

[Nikiolola]

Mine was done 3 weeks ago I think, but won't be done again until mid-late november. She's getting sweaty again already though.

 

[SueAllen]

Yep - one in September and now overdue for another but went on hols for a week and he didn't do anything whilst I was away so left him (also so horse sitter wouldn't have to mess about with rugs too much)- going to do Thursday or Friday before opening meet. He really has got very hairy very quickly this year...

 

[princesskelly]

i started clipping start of september have clipped again start of october and will clip again next week. will be clipping once a month untill april.poppy's coat does not stop growing!
luckly she's as good as gold to clip so does'nt take long.

 

[Stella]

I don't know what is going on! I usually find that clips in early October, December and February are enough. This year, I clipped Flora two weeks ago and already I see her coat coming back in

It looks like she will need doing again in another couple of weeks. I hope this doesn't mean it will be every 4 weeks throughout the winter

 

[SirenaXVI]

Gonna clip for the second time this weekend
