Hi peeps,
Due to injury my horse has been out of work for about 9 months. Over the last couple of weeks after our all clear I have been walking him under saddle, buliding him up gradually working to a fitness plan etc etc. Because he was out of work from May - Jan i didnt clip him as there was no need, he wasnt in any typre of work and 6-7 of those months were box rest. However (i dont normally clip in the summer) when he is back in full work (i anticipate this to be summertime (ish) if all goes well) im not sure what to do with regards to clipping as his coat is obviously longer this year than normal. He is rugged well so doesnt have masses of coat - first thought is to see how he goes temp wise with the coat and go from there.... any ideas would be much appriciated?? xx
