I always go to this website, I printed off all their clips and tried an apron clip last year which I was well pleased with. I do not like to clip unnecessarily, and my girl can be a right sweaty betty too, but this clip really suits, I do plait up her mane to keep her cooler also :)
Here she is with last years 'apron clip'

Previously I have given her an irish clip

But as we have to go steady alot of the time due to her foot she is not worked especially hard that a bigger clip is needed

I generally do a full clip with half head left on :

Seren is a bit headshy, so I left her full head on last year :

This year Seren is busy baking a bun (she's in foal) so she will be a hairy bear, Melly needs something doing even though she is retired, as she is hot and sweaty just stood in the field, so I'll do her a little bib clip. :)
 
Gave Cooper a full clip with legs off and half head left on. Even clipped his ears as they were sooo fluffy. Its not easy to see as obviously there are no lines.

Phil's first clip last year was a (low) Irish, he could probably have done with a little more off but again not worked enough for all off so it was a happy compromise :D

Thanks for this pic!!!! Been trying to figure out what to for mine because she`s not worked enough imo fro a blanket but gets too sweaty for a bib! Must try this! :D

no probs! thats exactly why I give Joey that, I can't justify a blanket but he's a hairy and sweaty boy so he needs more than an irish/bib - I find that one the perfect compromise :)
 
Oh! SilverSkye! Your mare is stunning clipped out!!!!
I mean, all the pics on here are lovely and all the horses look fab, but I just fall head over heals with the clipped right out look!! x
 
This is Mrs P's standard winter clip, it doesn't really have a name. I leave her belly unclipped - it's not an area where her rug will keep her warm, and having a fluffy belly doesn't seem to cause her to get especially sweaty :)

Found another one of Melly with a Chaser/Blanket mash-up clip! lol! Itwas the 1st winter I had her, and as I was clipping alone I didnt want to risk back legs etc! I like this one, even though it did make her look a bit heavier on the forehand -

Mine all have differing clips but i do like to get as much off them as possible and then rug them up well.

Alfie Moon has his legs and half a face left on:
