God you should meet mags, he has the wringlest armpits and likes to lean on you if you pull a leg forward.... great combo!

Our old coachman as a bit [****] at this look:

Wrinkly armpits? Aw bless!!!

 

[Ravenwood]

Not just armpits - my mare has wrinkly skin on her neck, chest , etc too!

 

[dozzie]

LOL! Not just me that has a problem! My mare has the wrinkly armpits, not me, before you make some witty comment!

I used to clip an old hunter (25+ but young at heart) every year - wrinkly all over and oh, doesn't it take a long time!! And impossible to get a neat finish. He always looked like a clipped carpet

 

[piebaldsparkle]

LOL even Sparks bum wrinkles!!! Very annoying!!

 

[SpruceRI]

I suppose wrinkly armpits will come to us all eventually - ho hum !!!

Bloody hell, yet another bit of growing up I'm not looking forward to!

I think bumbles skin (horse above on left) had loose skin but it wasn't wrinkly.... good job he loved to be cliped to be honest!

My Mac has lots of loose skin. He was quite overweight when I first got him and think that has contributed to it. When he had a vet check up a few weeks ago, vet commented that we could make another horse with his excess skin.

He is very good to clip, and I usually pull skin taut and OH clips.
