Too late to clip?

[vicki25]

Just wondering when you do your last clips as i have always thought that after January the summer coat doesn't come through as well? Does anyone clip after January?

I have clipped in Feb and March with no effect on the summer coat.

No - not if you have something hairy. Mine has such a thick summer coat that I will clip in Feb an again in June if its hot. But my friend whose TB has a fine silky coat will do last clip this weekend to take off the rest of the blanket.
So depends on the horse.

No I don't think so and I have clipped up to beg. of March with no ill effects. Makes the moulting process a lot easier too!!

My Irish draughtXConnemara mare is, just a few days after the snow, moulting.
I am wondering if she knows something about the weather that I don't.

I have a super hairy old TB who looks like shes more native than TB , I was goin to clip the whole lot off this weekend so she doesnt get itchy when it all comes out & to make the process easier. However it is now snowing... do i still do it tomorrow?!

she does love bein clipped!! stands there not tied up with no H/c on & rests hes chin on her stable door!! with a look of take it off take all off!! in her eyes!! As when it rains she gets a very wet face & very wet legs

poor pony!
