Anyone Clipped yet?

[fuzzyp]

Just wondering has anyone given in and clipped yet?

 

[pottamus]

No but then I don't clip my horsey! No one round my way have clipped yet, but it won't be long I am sure.

 

[martyna]

yes me lol my cob is sooooooooooo hairy and sweats like mad . it had to be done !!

 

[murphyboywoody]

Im gonna have to in the next few days! Not looking forward to it!!

 

[fuzzyp]

Phew, thats a bit of a relief, mine is sweating up a bit now but was feeling guilty at just the thought of having to make him naked!

 

[grandmaweloveyou]

mine sweat up a bit last night so it looks like i might have to sort it in the next week

I'm doing Q tomorrow as he's very hairy & is going to Area Festivals at Patchetts next weekend. Thankfully I think Spider will prob last a few more weeks.

I'm clipping one this weekend as she got very sweaty just from a walk round the block

My other horse hasn't lost her summer coat yet, so she'll probably be done in another month

Clipping mine out tomorrow - he's grown nearly an inch of hair in 3 weeks and sweats up when just walking - ride at 7pm so it's getting chilly when I've finished - ours are at home anyway so no problems nipping out to change rugs if it gets chilly at night.

OH's mare will go a while yet as she doesn't sweat up much (and she's a pain to do)

I'm clipping tomorrow, my lad has been sweating up a lot so it needs to be done, although have been having dilemmas about ti but have decided if i'm going to ride he needs to be comfortable so off it will come! I was going to do it last week but didnt get the chance.

Doing my lad this weekend as although he hasn't got his full winter coat yet he's got a few hunter trials coming up and will just be disgustingly sweatly if I don't clip before them! He's already distinctly sweatier than normal. Might just trace clip the mares at the same time and then can always do them again later if I need to!

My older horse I have literally just done this morning
My younger one is a good pony and still has a nice short summer coat

 

[MillionDollar]

Fully clipped Flo out 2 weeks ago and Lottie will be done next week.

 

[Marquire]

I'm trying desperately to hang on for 2 weeks until he's in at night for the winter. He is REALLY hairy though and is sweating like mad when I work him. It's been around 5-6oC at night for a couple of weeks now and he has lost all his summer coat already and is starting to resemble a woolly mammoth. Stupid weather!

 

[XmisshorsestyleX]

No, I will probably clip mine next week after The Royal London!

I am trying to save it to November then can just clip once...

Although Han might really need doing when she comes back as has been living out.

 

[vicm2509]

Baron still has his summer coat. Hes going darker but not hairy at all yet.

I am hoping to wait until the middle to end of October when they come in for the night as I can give him a full clip then.

 

[Ginn]

Yep!!! (And there are pics in the gallery to prove it

)

I wanted to do it for 2 reasons -
1, now she is in (light) work I have been finding that with the arrival of winter fluff her neck and girth area has become excessively sweaty and
2, I wanted to not only get her use to clippers for when she is older and needs a full clip but also wanted to do it early so its nothing drastic, more of a trim that I can just keep going over every few months rather than leaving her until she had loads of winter coat and taking her by surprise by taking it away then. Does that make sense? Lol!?

 

[Bert&Maud]

Yes! Three weeks ago so now thinking it's about time to do it again!

 

[fruity]

mine hasn't any winter coat yet,it's still lovely and thin and doesn't get sweaty after an hours schooling so i'll wait till i see a change.
