When would you clip ur horse??
I’m thinking of clipping Paris this weekend as she is like a big bear!!!!!.....

I usually do Gin at the end of September, she has no fluff at all yet and hope she stays that way.

It depends on the horses coat, now that i have own clippers i can clip whenever i want too. Before they got done wenever i could get hold of some clippers, so would clip october and january.

Will do Willow this next weekend hopefully, the two coloureds mid september and daisy end of september.

normally end of september, but im also contemplating sooner as my mare is moulting so bad!
But i know people who clip there fluffy ponys all year round, so it depends on what you plan to do with them and how hairy!
If your showing id advise not to!

Well my horse still has his summer coat with no signs of moulting at all. This will be his first year clipped and I have been recommended to leave it as long as possible and to just do him when he starts to sweat up with his winter coat coming through. So I am hoping it will be towards the end of Sept as I really want his winter coat to come through before rugging him!

Bloss will be clipped end of october. She still has a lovely summer coat atm.

God, is it really that time of year again?! Scary. Where has summer gone.

I usually do my horses when i think they need it and they are sweating up when being ridden etc.

Usually around October time but at the mo my new mares till has a lovely summer coat and doesn't look like she wants to get rid of it just yet.

I'll (very reluctantly) be clipping my young 'un pretty soon, even though she's just about to come into work after a tendon injury, her coat is a massive fluff ball and when her coat is all winter wooly she gets bad skin irritations. Bummer eh?
