Clipping - with head left on. Any pictures?

[suzysparkle]

I've previously blanket clipped my Horse with half head off. I have recently moved him to a new yard which is more exposed...but does have a field shelter. He lives out and has a combo rug on when clipped. With this in mind I think I'm going to adapt a chaser clip for him. A fairly shallow line up from the stifle then curving it up with whole neck off (his neck is where he sweats up the most). However, I want to leave his whole head on. Has anyone got a picture (not a sketch) of how to blend a fully clipped neck into an unclipped head??

Sorry I haven't got a photo but this is how I used to clip my horse as he lived out. Just clip up to the back of his ears and make a line down next to his cheek without clipping any of his face off.

Hope that makes sense, hopefully someone will post a photo.

I do a half face as she gets bit sweaty under her chin that always looks ok just take a line from where the bridle would sit and its not a huge amount more taken off than leaving it. Her ears and front of face etc is still left on. But depends if you are able to clip your horses face.

Got a couple of my fly from last year. I follow the line of the throat up to the ears. He HATES me clipping his head but I have got to do it this year as he sweats so much around his ears and on his face. Hope these pics help. x

Thanks! I clipped this afternoon and that's exactly how I did it. It looks fine. I thought it might look a bit odd but it's fine.
