Would I be an evil owner if.........

[Dirtymare]

Would I be evil If I did a blanket clip on my girlie and had her still living out (suitably rugged of course)?
Could I have your oppinions Please.
Oh, by the way, she is a hairy cobby type - good doer.
Thank you in advance.

Nope sounds like a good plan, she will stay cooler when ridden and dry more quickly when wet than if you leave more hair on her

If you are so am I, I clipped my two boys all out on saturday and then turned them out with 3 rugs and a vest on as the weather is nice and the nights still warm enough for them. I did check them very late saturday night on my way home from a night out and they were happy and warm.

Mine have been clipped for 3 weeks and are out with lightweight rugs still! Saturday they still came in sweaty!

No not at all, I have an anglo arab who was blanket clipped last year & stayed out all winter, even that really cold spell we had.
She wore a heavy weight turn out with a full neck & was warm as toast!

No not cruel at all ... esp this time of year and with a horse of that type.

Not at all. I normally hunter clip my woosy horses and they live out 24/7! As long as they're rugged up well, have shelter and good feed then no problem!

No not at all. Bodey cob has been living out fully clipped, feathers and everything. He just a MW on at night.

No. Go for it with a guilt free conscience!
