Hi,
I am totally confused about this issue and wondering if I should clip or not. I will ride all winter, maybe 5 / 6 days a week, and my new horse sweats a lot. I have booked the 'hairdresser' for him, but I am now getting cold feet. A friend told me that they feel pain after clipping as the coat grows, and someone else told me that they feel itchy. I had originally decided on a full clip for the new horse and a trace clip for my mare, but now I am not sure. For me how they look is not important, but my gelding takes a long time to dry after work, and I worry that this is not healthy for him.
I would very much appreciate advice on this.
Thank you.
