Quick question!
My cob mare is looking a bit untidy with her hogged mane growing out and previously clipped legs looking rather hairy.
She is turned out and the field is pretty muddy around the gateways but not too bad in the middle. She is coming in with thick, wet mud up her legs. Question is... is she better with legs clipped out or left hairy? Clipping them would make them easier to clean but i feel would lose insulation. She doesn't appear to have any skin issues and there is no real reason why they have to be clipped.
Grateful for any thoughts!
