I don't clip my boys any more as I have them here in the back yard and can put a cooler on until they dry off, even if it's hours later. <br /><br />I used to do trace clips, kind of in between the hunter clip and blanket clip. Worked a treat.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705934261650966758.post-79192396814739555452010-10-13T10:03:07.630-07:002010-10-13T10:03:07.630-07:00Cheyenne, please don't think for one moment th...Cheyenne, please don't think for one moment that I don't know my horse is 'grey'! When we saw the advert for him, it just said 'grey' so I rang up and asked what sort. The owner said, "He's Daz white!" and I've remembered it ever since. My concern with Barnaby is that he's a very 'hot' horse, which is why he rips his rugs off. He also will not stand in the stable to dry off for an hour, even with a wicking rug on, so for his convenience I clip him to cool and dry him as quickly as possible, as he is one of those horses who prefers to conduct his daily business outside, not cooped up in a stable.Autumn Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970884029498352422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705934261650966758.post-25675822013930601072010-10-13T06:25:10.261-07:002010-10-13T06:25:10.261-07:00I loved the Time Traveler's Wife, it was the l...I loved the Time Traveler's Wife, it was the last book to make me cry.

If the skin has black pigmentation, its a grey. If the eye sclera is pink.and the skin under the hair is pink its an Albino. There is no such thing as a "white" horse.<br />About clipping and rugging? I was pleased to see you comment about the Exmoors and the other native breeds not getting clipped. But then they dont get taken by humans and dont get made to do silly things in arenas and carry us around.(in their natural world)<br />My point is this, I stopped clipping any of my horses years ago, it didnt seem right to deprive them of a natural coat in the winter, I ride them all, for long and short distances, and until recently, competed with an unclipped horse in the winter at endurance! No problems there.<br />However, I regulate there exercise regumen by not over doing it, and allowing substantial cooling down periods. <br />This works, after cooling down and drying off, they are groomed, all the salt is brushed off and then the horse is turned out. <br />I really dont see the need to cut off the horses hair coat? Or is it convenience for humans?<br />BTW, like your cards!cheyenne joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957462106844413179noreply@blogger.com
