[rcm_73]

OMG!!

 

[PapaFrita]

That's VERY bizarre. Obviously to show off his head and neck, but the rest of the body looks as if he's wearing a wookie costume

 

[Laurenm01]

I cannot get over how fluffy his winter coat is!

 

[phoebeast]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :')

 

[trundle]

I've seen horses clipped like that before, as PF says to show off the head and neck...but never such a woolly bear as that !


PMSL at the wookie costume!

 

[Sessle]

Haha! i though it was photoshopped or something until I looked closer! Cutie though!!

 

[Enfys]

Before and After in progress.

LMAO at the wookie!

 

[PurplePickle]

yep have seen it before as well on ponies that fluffy, looks odd to me lol

 

[misterjinglejay]

Prizes for guessing which part is American!
And which part is bear!

 

[shezlz5]

That is mad..off to get the clippers out.

JOKE wouldn't put my poor horses throught that, they would get laughed at by their friends!!

Exactly what I was just about to post!!

Its very common for miniatures. Its a way of showing how refined the horse is as with their winter coat you can see its very difficult. Its not meant as a clip for any other reason i.e. work load.. If people want to buy minis in winter they expect it to be head and neck clipped. If the seller doesnt they will find it very hard to sell without. Very normal in the mini world.

 

[Tinkerbee]

That is absolutely brilliant

 

[Quadro]

it looks AWFUL!!!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

That is SO funny

PMSL Precisely, very odd looking clip, I think I would burst out laughing if i saw that pony walking along

 

[nomini]

OMG, that looks so bizarre!!

 

[bushbaby28]

it looks like a lama!!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

The only reason I can think to why they've done it is to show off their head for the photo purpose! Perhaps?!

Did wonder though

 

[Mel1]

HAHA
,
i thought it was a lama too

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

Aaargh that's just so WRONG!! Plus worrying, the photo of the pony being encouraged to jump up at the owner. It's not a dog FFS.

 

[Stinkbomb]

Yep its been done for this reason and this reason only!!

Can you imagine going looking at a mini to buy for showing and seeing this....

and imagining it could look like this in summer?

and also imagining it could have a head from this to this?

Therefore reason for clip...

 

[Donkeymad]

I thought that might be the case Stinkbomb, still very weird looking though

 

[chaps89]

Stinkbomb...I have a potentially daft question for you. Why do you clip off the top bit of his mane? Just curious

 

[Pedantic]

It's a Lama isn't it

 

[Vicki1986]

Stinkbomb - looking at your GORGEOUS mini makes me really want one!!

question, presumably these fluffy ones arent rugged, wouldnt they get cold with their neck /chest clipped out and not rugged to compensate?

 

[Fairynuff]

Only £500!!!!! Take a look at what they cost here in Italy

Just noticed the pic of the mini skewbald-dont ask me!

Maybe he is hiding a huge hernia

Show Arabs, Morgans and Quarters (I think) all have their manes cut like that. Its to show off the throat/top of neck. Ive heard it called 'swaning' as in swans neck.
