Body Clipping
Body clipping offers many practical and aesthetic benefits for your horse. Horses naturally grow a thick, warm coat during the winter months to help them stay warm. Their bodies are designed to generate and store heat, and clipping in the winter allows a horse to better regulate their temperature, and work in comfort. Some of the benefits include:
There are many different types of clips to best meet needs of your horse or pony - the biggest determining factor when choosing a clip is usually activity level. Other factors to keep in mind are living situation (does your horse live outside 24/7, or do they have a stall at night, etc) and commitment to blanketing.
- Faster drying time after exercise
- Improves ease of grooming
- Eliminates extreme swings in body temperature
- Keeps horses looking tidy for winter competition
