Clipping anomaly

[S_N]

All these posts on clipping and turning out and rugs etc and the talk seems to be of 'Full Clips'. What is meant by a full clip in your opinion?

 

[KatB]

Full clip is all off. Hunter is legs on, saddle patch and poss half head??

 

[S_N]

Ahhh yes the good old saddle patch - from the days when numnahs weren;t in much use. Don't see the point in a saddle patch now, just takes ages to dry off!

Ditto Kat B

Full is everything off (tho some keep a saddle patch)

Hunter is legs on and saddle patch

 

[Super_Kat]

Pretty much the same as Kat B but with the full clip I always leave a half pad shape on their backs and a 'v' above the tail but everything else goes

Ditto KatB!

Yup, in my opinion a full clip is everything off!

hunter clip leaves saddle, legs and poss half head.

To me a full clip is when you have buggered up all your lines, the horse is being a pain and you have lost your rag.
A hunter is when you start to try a blanket but you keep buggering up your lines and it gets smaller and smaller.
A blanket is when you forget you were doing a high trace clip and clip too high, bugger up your lines get really annoyed and cannot be bothered to do any more.

IMO a full clip is EVERYTHING off (including legs) a hunter clip is where you leave the hair on the legs, a saddle patch and possibly half head!

full clip is everything off except a v above the tail
hunter clip is everything off except a v above the tail, saddle patch, legs and half the head.

my mare has a hunter but without the saddle patch

pmsl lec.

I think you have sussed why and how all the varying clips were "created"!

My little 14hh pony many years ago started having a trace clip - my mother ballsed it up and then moved onto the blanket and then ballsed that up so my little pony was going to PC rallys with a full hunter clip! I speak from the voice of experience!

I can't say anything....I tried to give my daughter's pony a blanket clip last year and cocked that up. She had a hunter clip too!

I've had a fabby tip off Druid to use lipstick to mark the lines on greys. This year Patches has had a half decent blanket clip and Tweenie is awaiting her turn with the clippers!

I did feel very cool at PC when most people just had throat neck and stomachs. I also got to wear rugs on him which is a childs dream to be able to ponce around and look grown up!

 

[peapod]

God knows what sort of clip Sonny will end up with then - I intend to take it all off except his whole head, legs, and his line of belly hair!

 

[rrose]

Full: Everything off apart from the V above the tail
Hunter: legs,half head and a saddle shape left on, rest is taken off.

 

[Clodagh]

So true. I leave the saddle patch on with a hunter as on my cob the saddle slipped if he was clipped out? Was I dreaming do you think??

 

[dieseldog]

I clipped the saddle patch once - never again, my saddle had a life of its own - one minute on its ears the next its bum.

 

[madabout2]

Love it!!

Agree with Kat Bs answer, apart from when you're clipping out for the show-ring when you don't leave the V above the tail.
