Yikes .... clipped design on horse

Im still laughing about it, imagine what his fieldmates think!! Do you think he stands in the corner :o thinking jees why me mum you could have chosen any of us but why me???.... :D
 
There is a company in US that make the stencils for these. They have an amazing number of different designs. They stick on and your clip over them, then peel off the stencil. Unfortunately can't remember the name of the company.
 
My home made attempt last year below. Have superman ready for this year lol.

I was banned from doing designs after clipping my daughter's pony and leaving his name in relief in two foot high letters all along one side. Her instructor was not impressed. Mind they got the last laugh when I ended up competing him, still with his name in large letters along one side.

I'm very boring nowadays and the most exciting clips mine get are when the clippers break when I'm part-finished.
 
I love silly stencils, you generally don't see fun stencils clipped onto the arses of unloved, neglected horses - so for me, they are synonymous with being loved and adored. Which isn't the worst thing to happen to a horse :)

Here here- it's just a bit of fun!

We used to do it on all our ponies rumps and I will be leaving stars on the girls' pony this year too. And I might even add some glitter to them for the christmas shows with tinsel around the plaits.

As long as our horses are well looked after and loved whats wrong with having a bit of fun- especially when the children are involved. Sometime us horsey types take thing far too seriously!
 
It is a bit of fun, I don't mind the ones on the rump, I did diamonds on my horse one year, I think the all over ones are a bit much though, but yes I expect a little child to love it

FYI, the clipping design with all the palm trees in the OP was done with stencils as part of a clipping demonstration at some sort of country or equine fair in the USA. I've seen the video and the handler in that pic might have been the one to clip it - it was a few years ago.

This other picture of Jessie with all the stars was done by my daughter (Ponyfeet10) when she was 17 and a full time student in Hartpury College. It was done partially to see what the designs would look like on different parts of the coat, partially for promotional purposes for a stencil making business called Stencilbum which I run, partially because the pony was being regularly jumped in competition by her and needed clipping, and partially because she was 17 and having a bit of fun with a very much loved family pet (she is a pony, they don't do Vanity ! )

As for the Stars design, it was done over 3 evenings in a week in october and was growing out as quickly as it was being clipped in.

Now whilst you might not be a fan of clipping designs, or the people who like to have a bit of fun with their horses when it comes to clipping time, There are many people out here who do recognise that it is only a haircut, and not a brand ;)
 
I think these are great! So what if they're not correct, who cares!! Its only a bit of fun, and certainly puts a smile on my face in the cold, miserable winter months!

At our yard all the horses who are clipped get a design of some sorts on their rumps! And if I had my own horse, then I would do some too!!
