Somebody stop me

In this post you will find a pic of my boy all clipped out http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/sh...rue#Post5303624

My guys are covered in mud, there is surface water all over the field and his feathers are just disgusting, this is beyond pig oil and sulphur.
I can hear the bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing of the clippers now SOMEBODY STOP ME please please. I know I want a hairy cob back but right now those feathers are doing my head in. Thank you for putting up with my stupidity in this post

ah no help sorry i prefer the clipped look!!!!!! sorry

still looks a sweetie with hair but looks very smart without!

Have you tried using tubigrip over his feathers? get the right size though, it breathes but would perhaps keep them contained/clean?

Hes on 24hr turn out in this field so doesnt really get out of the wet. I considered some straw around them and then make a tube out of some old tights.......not sure how this would work. I dont want him then having wet soggy straw and tights sticking to him. Although tubigrip is more durable than tights........hmmmm I might pop in boots on my way home tomo

Sorry but I prefer the clipped look too.

Leave him hairy! I doubt he minds too much being grubby so just try not to look down.

I had a similar thing, a very hairy cob that I had to clip due to a mite problem. I was really worried about him looking daft when clipped, but he actually looks really nice clipped out. I'm pleased I did it now.
The good thing about the hairy is that it grows back quickly, so if you did clip it'd soon be back anyway!
Go for it!
