Marking clipping lines on a black horse

[peanut]

I've tried a fluorescent yellow marker pen but it didn't show up enough.

I'd be grateful for any ideas for marking a trace clip as I'm positively anal about straight lines

Chalk, or saddle soap

I never use marks but chalk should work.

Don't you have to press hard to make chalk work?

Chalk works pretty well, never had to press really hard

I was always taught to use tailor's chalk, but don't need lines to clip generally unless its a hunter clip, and then I use a tiny pony numnah as a template!

It's not difficult for me to find chalk - just have to dig it up out of the garden! I'll give it a try, thank you

Don't you have to press hard to make chalk work?

Not if you spit on it first!

Not if you spit on it first!

Great tip - thank you!

Masking tape.

Masking tape.

Thank you - will dig some out in case the chalk fails!
