One of the horses at my yard who has a skin condition is clipped all year round, if its for medical reasons there is no way to avoid it

My friends horse has just been clipped out again, hes competing all year round. another is clipped because hes so obese he just sweats(his owner says he has a 'thick coat' ) and a pony with cushings is kept clipped out!

Yep I know a few cobby types and on the other end, SJers who are. If it suits, why not!?

I plan to clip my 2 old natives next week (they were unclipped all winter) just because they dont loose their coats so well anymore and one especially takes ages to lose it, getting so hot. So I figure Ill just give them both tummy & under neck clips.

The horse that I share (cob) is clipped all year round but doesnt really do a lot of competing! He's also rugged all year round 'to keep him clean and so his hair grows back slower'!!

poor boy-feel v. sorry for him when its 20 degrees even and the others are out 'naked'!!
Think its just peoples different opinions tho!!
