Clipping a horse - why and how often?
I'm wondering why you clip a horse and how many times a year you do it? βΊοΈ

Hello!
π΄ We clip horses to help them sweat a little less and dry off more quickly after work.
π΄ Why you clip, how much, and how often depends very much on the horse's coat type and the kind of work it does.
π΄ It is a relief if you can avoid clipping, because the horse's coat is phenomenal at keeping it comfortably warm through the colder months, so I only recommend clipping if it is genuinely necessary.
I hope that answers your question π¦
