Different Clipping-When is it time?

Postby Pretty_Pony72 » Fri Nov 18, 2005 6:27 pm

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#There has been a lot of posts about clipping lately and 1 just recently but i have a diffferent problem.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We are moving back to mylast barn and it has an arena. I plan on riding GT and Andy all winter 6 times a week and 4-5 times at least. GT has grown his winter coat, not fully but wow its there hes fluffy and fuzzy. Andy has not, so this is directed more toward GT for now anyway. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I am blanketing him and its fine hes not etting sweaty or anything,but once i do move him and ride more and more should i clip him? It will be long rides 45 min average including jumping when i work him up to that. So working hard! And i do have the time to sit for an hour to cool him out but would clipping be used in this kind situation? When should i clip him( accually get the dog groomer to come do it!(She knows how!)) And i was looking at different clipping types but it means nothing to me lol, which one would be good? He does tend to get sweaty easily, hes been out of shape for a while and its snowing and very cold.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Sooo any help??#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And what does everyone else do?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I would clip him. It will be much healthier  for him. If you don't be perpared to cool him out for at least an hour or more and there is the chance that he would become chilled. Think of wearing a sweat siut while working out then you can't take it off afterwards. Yuck.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Depends on the length of coat. I know with my horse I was all prepared to clip, but he has that wimpy coat that some thoroughbreds get and we're doubling up on blankets already!! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#8000ff size=2#ed_cl#My cousin Jamie and I were just talking about clipping today. She body clipped her horse in the area's that he sweats most. She clipped him like this #ed_op#A href="http://www.peasridge.co.uk/clipper-advice/images-clippiing-advice/fig-08.gif"#ed_cl#http://www.peasridge.co.uk/clipper-advice/images-clippiing-advice/fig-08.gif#ed_op#/A#ed_cl# . But I think she didnt do his face and DID clip his legs.... Theres also this #ed_op#A href="http://www.peasridge.co.uk/clipper-advice/images-clippiing-advice/fig-10.gif"#ed_cl#http://www.peasridge.co.uk/clipper-advice/images-clippiing-advice/fig-10.gif#ed_op#/A#ed_cl# but I would go with the first one if i was to do Champ.
