Who Has got the Clippers out?

[Joss]

I bought some new little clippers(trimmers) at Burghley so I was trying them out. Have clipped a little bit down the wind-pipe of my lad. But I think I have got to do a proper clip next week before Allerton Horse Trials. Is it just me with my horse who thinks he is a hairy pony (actually a 17hh Warmblood) or are other people finding this? My other horse still has his sleek summery coat.

my sports horse is still with his summer coat

sure it wont be long though till clipping time begins, yey

normally mid october for me

Think as soon as Patrick comes back into work I will have to clip him - I hate clipping!

 

[AutumnRose]

Ugh clipping

Think new boy will be much hairier than T so will prob be sooner rather than later

 

[H-J]

If Dexter was in work he would have been clipped by now! He grows such a hairy coat, he wont be in work till Oct though so will be clipped then.

Dougal may be clipped by Borde Hill, but we are trying to leave it as long as poss as he is having a couple of weeks off after Borde Hill so ideally dont want to clip till Nov.

I clipped one of mine out a couple of weeks ago because he was SO hairy and getting too sweaty working - normally I dont have to clip him until about October!

My TB is like a teddy bear, so think the clippers are going to have to come out next week.

 

[Halfstep]

Very soon I'm afraid. Probably by the end of the month

. Hate clipping.

I will be clipping Jiggy next week, his coat has grown so much already! Have to have alisha sedated so will prob wait till end of october to do her so i only have to clip once

My TB is looking woolly too. His coat was coming out loads but in the last few days of rain I've left him out during the day without a rug cause its been mild and he rubs his tail off if he gets too warm and he now starting to resemble a fluff ball. Will start to rug him up if it gets cold and will only clip if I notice him starting to sweat during heavy work

Hen will done by the end of the month. Would do him sooner but his winter coat is still soming through, so would only have to do him again soon after, and I'm too lazy for that!
Plus my winter rugs are all still at the cleaners..... me, unorganised, never!

 

[scotsmare]

I love clipping

Mine aren't quite hairy enough yet though

will be another few weeks I think.....

 

[wizzi901]

am teetering with the clippers....!!

My cob's been done but he get's done all year!, my ISH is ok at the mo, he's been having a very light rug and lycra hood on at night and so far he's holding on to his summer coat but as soon as he starts to get wolly it'll all come off. oh joy winters here!

My big horse has been clipped once a month all summer

He has to be doped if you value your life so timing it for events has been a nightmare

. Just thinking today I'll have to at least do his legs before Allerton
