Naked horse!

[jules89]

ok so I have just clipped, and I am now more hairy than my horse!

took it all off bar his legs, half a head and a saddle patch (and stars!)

tongue came out when attempting the stars on his bottom, and I will post a pic when I can b bothered taking one!

who else has clipped?

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

i half clipped at the weekend, left bum on

 

[madhector]

I havent but J is suddenly looking very hairy

I darent do it before Burnham Market as he will probably buck me off, then got LG clinic next week so cant do it then, then Keysoe... I need a week clear to ride him till he is quiet again after I have clipped him

 

[3Beasties]

I haven't clipped yet, will need to soon though. Would love to see pic of the stars! Did you use a stencil or do it by hand??

 

[thedunthing]

not yet but i dont think it will be long until i do..... oh im dreading it

 

[Cop-Pop]

Mine will be done in the next couple of weeks - must stock up on body armour

Was not intending to clip for a month as most of my rugs are still away being washed - yes I know I left it too late!!! - but he is coming back into work after 3 months off and the wobbly grass belly he has developed is not coming off as quickly as I had hoped and he is sweating buckets with only light work so I may have to do some sort of clip this weekend that will deal with the sweaty bits without him needing too much rugging! I feel something very individual coming on.....

 

[bex1984]

Yep, clipped at the weekend but left most of it on, it'll all come off in about a month's time though!

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

I have the same problem as you, hence why I do my own style of half clip and will not be over rugging this year either.

Please do not late me for being cruel anyone

Oh no have people started clipping, ugh i hate it. hair everywher....for days!!!!

Am thinking i may well have to do B before Pulborough.....what does that give me. 2 1/2 weeks, ugh i do hate it!!!

Clipping on Saturday, two of mine are really wooly, or TB is still thinking about it........

 

[jules89]

I will take a pic of the stars later when I ride (got a big full belly from lunch at the moment!)

I used one of the stencils, and chalked the edges but it rubs off really easily so had to do a bit of improv!

Note, also, SPACE THE STARS OUT! I clipped them as they are on the stencil, Ie a big one and 2 little ones on the thing, but my tongue was hanging out whilst clipping trying to miss one or the other!

Clipped my boy on Sunday. I now have a totally naked Section D!
My boy gets terrible eczema though so I have to take it off before the longer hair starts coming through.

 

[MarinaBay]

Still debating the whole idea, it is such an ordeal! Will definately need sedating!

 

[jules89]

make sure ur clippers are working before you sedate, i got 3/4 round Daisy last year and they broke (and shes 17.2...not impressed)

That must have been so frustrating! I have been told once she is sedated and has been clipped for the first time she will be more relaxed the next time.... is this true?

 

[jules89]

no idea, maybe!

i havent clipped that one this year
i did take a photo of his clip
and now the camera has broken. REALLY not impressed now!

my clippers ran out of charge halfway through doing my boy's 1st ever clip today but luckily i'd only taken a little bit off anyway and he has fine hair so not very noticeable. gonna take the lot off tomorrow. fed up of waiting hours for him to dry off after riding - hope he doesn't buck me off!

 

[LizzieJ]

I clipped mine on saturday. I hate clipping! I think I hate it a little more every year

I took the whole lot off but will leave the legs on next time. She does look very smart now

My tb hasn't got a hint of winter coat yet so am hoping I won't have to clip her for a while yet

 

[bushbaby28]

my fluffy boys all naked. made the mistake of leaving him in afterwards, he was absolutely manic the next day!!!

 

[jules89]

I can't decide whether or not to take off my stars now...
