Clipped or unclipped ?

[kimky]

me and my frwend are having a debate about clipping she prefers unclipped i prefer clipped . What do u prefer clipped or unclipped ...?

It depends on the circumstances. If TB living out and hardly working - bib clip, if at all then rugged to eyeballs. If big hairy Shire or cob living in and working hard - hunter clip.
There's no absolute preference, for me anyway.

shouldnt be preference as such if your talking about during the winter. it depends on breed/type/work/stabled/how many rugs you have etc!!!! if your talking about clipping in the showing sense then no i dont like clipped.

depends on workload etc I always clip mine, but thats because they work all year round

It all depends on the horses workload and how it copes with its natural coat. Mine is clipped out in the winter and the summer. She sweats loads particularly as is it gets quite hot round me and during the summer we compete every week.

But I do allow her coat to grow during the spring and autumn time.

Totally depends on the horse / work load / season etc. I prefer a nice TB summer coat TBH! I hate long winter coats so I guess I prefer clipped then.

If we are talking about apperance only then im not a fan of think winter coats so I prefer them fully clipped out. But in the summer like to see a nice shiney summer coat.

My old horse (cleveland bay x TB) I always clipped all out apart from his legs (too fidly for me), But my tb x id only has a low trace cause she has such a thin coat only needs a little breating vent ( and she is very ticklish under belly and very handy with her back legs so its just as well she has a thin coat)
