and clipped him today as he was overly hairy and has hunter trials sunday - and i put him 1 medium weight stable on - happily eating hay - and he was lathered - sweating up so only had to put a fleece on!
 
It's been quite warm here today really, don't know about near you, but medium weights are quite heavy for mild weather really. A lot of horses never go past a medium even in coldest part of winter. And not just cobby types etc.
 
I can't believe some people are clipping already - where has the time gone?? and on that note I can't believe horses are being rugged! I would never ever rug mine before 'oct half term'.
If clipped now I would only be using a thin sheet or travelling type blanket in all honesty.
 
I've clipped Daisy because she's a hairy yeti and in alot of work but then i clip all year anyway.

I'm certainly not putting a rug on her when she's standing in the stable and only a lw without fill when she's out. She'd be much too hot with a mw on.
