What colour are your clipped horses?

[vikkiandmonica]

Well, Wings was clipped today ( ) and he goes a fairly strange colour when clipped. He's a bright orange bay, but when clipped, goes to more of a dun colour!! I also noticed how many cuts he actually has (play fights a lot with my sister's horse!) I'll try and get a picture of him tomorrow.

So, what colour do you horses turn when clipped?

Coloured

 

[Ali27]

My mare Rhia is bay and she goes dark bay and my daughter's mare D-J is liver chesnut and she goes a very light chesnut.

 

[Jesstickle]

Mine is bright, gingery bay and goes basically grey. Or maybe mouse dun if I'm being charitable. I don't have a photo of him clipped but here he is in a video.

His legs are the original colour and the rest is nekked. Please ignore the insane grey, hairy thing bombing around with him. It is proper on one atm.

My horse is a golden dun/buckskin but a real yellowey colour with black points. His first clip he is the same colour but will be a bit dappled, but his 2nd winter clip (about now but i haven't clipped yet due to bad weather as not been getting him out enough) he will be a dark grey/mouse dun.

 

[vikkiandmonica]

jesstickle, Wings goes that sort of colour too!

ladyt25 - he sounds stunning!

only_me - thanks

Ali27 - thanks! I find it interesting how different they turn when they get clipped!

Guys, we need pictures!!

Gerry is a proper black horse but he goes a grey/brown colour when clipped. Can't wait for his nice glossy summer coat to come through.

 

[vikkiandmonica]

Sounds nice wellsat! My little pony is black and she goes a grey/silver colour too!

 

[3Beasties]

This colour

In summer he looks like this

(sorry about the swettyness, you get the idea though )

 

[Jesstickle]

Ah ha. If you can't be bothered to watch my vid, mine does what 3 beasties does

 

[lynseylou1]

golden dun goes to silver with beige goggles!! looks like an owl. ill try n get a picture up . need to work out how as it keeps asking me for a url?

 

[vikkiandmonica]

I watched it jesstickle!! And yeah, Wings goes that sort of colour too, big difference to his bright orange legs!!

Also, bit of a weird questions, but you know the muscle horses have that goes from where their back legs start and up, is there a reason why some horse's are more prominent than others? Because when Wings was clipped, you can really see his and it continues up his side until the middle of his ribs basically?!

 

[vikkiandmonica]

lynseylou1 that sound gorgeous!! PICTURES!!! (if you put it onto photobucket and copy the image code, that'll work, then paste it onto a post )

 

[SVMel]

Shetland stays pretty much the same, the palomino goes almost white, and the buckskin goes silver which I love!!!!

[spotty_pony]

Mine are still coloured obviously but you can see where the grey hair joins the darker hair as there is a blue line in between the patches! Also, my Appy turns PINK when he is clipped because he is pink skinned.

The same colour as 3B's.

Summer colour in my sig.

 

[vikkiandmonica]

Aw everyone's horses sound like they go a lovely colour! But more pictures needed!!

lynseylou1 - stunning!

 

[loz9]

ok this is my mare:
summer colour (2010)

Clipped (2009) (odd pic but was off her foal belly )

Chase Clipped (2007)

Full Clip (2007)

She seems to change colour every year! Altho shes become a hairy beastie this year & has stayed similar to her summer colour with a grey/brown tinge

 

[rhino]

Mine is a proper ginger beastie in the summer but when clipped he goes the loveliest pale caramel colour. He has a much darker (liver chestnut) mane and tail so looks stunning. I am always getting comments at comps or having people stop me out hacking and say how different he looks; I am almost tempted to clip all year round (except he's a b***** to clip!)

 

[cherylmills]

winter clip

Summer coat

His summer coat gets deeper each year

 

[lynseylou1]

ahh he looks lovely x

 

[vikkiandmonica]

They're all lovely!

 

[JenHunt]

ron goes from quite a red bay to brown, and tom goes from black to slightly less black....
I don't have many pics of Tom, but here's Ron in summer coat

and again in clipped coat

 

[JessandCharlie]

Len is black in summer But by his second clip is a bit of a crap greyish colour Did take some lovely pictures today, but have discovered my new memory card isn't compatible with the computer so can't do anything with them BOO

 

[miss_c]

Genie in summer

[skint1]

[Suffolkangel]

My girls a Blue roan, this is her a couple of years ago in the spring, so her summer coat was coming through... I had many comments at the show that day about having a two tone pony... lol

This is her with a fresh clip...

 

[dafthoss]

my dun goes a white/grey colour and in summer he is a lovely yellowy gold colour but his coat was lighter before he was clipped
