Whose ponies are sporting a winter coat already?

How early is too early to clip?

It depends on what you want to do with your cob. Showing - then yes, it's a little early to be clipping. Anything other than showing - bash on, what ever is most comfortable for your horse.

I started on the racehorses on the 3rd of October last year but I think it will be a little earlier this year - arse.
