Remember when I got a lot of hate for helping a horse who was super itchy and uncomfortable and did the unthinkable and clipped a tail! π³
Guess what! I was correct it is just a hair cut and it grows back!
Please stop worrying about clipping hair, if they need it for comfort, for temperature control, for excersise, and heaven forbid "appearance" there is no wrong time to clip in general.
Timing matters for some shows but that is a small amount of the equestrian community.
Clipping a coat will not ruin it at any point.
Same as rugging won't stop hair growing, yes you should keep your horses warm and comfortable and a rug will flatten the coat and make it look like it's grown less. It hasn't! If that were the case you can bet I'd wear a hat everyday so I didn't have to get mine cut!
I know I'll still receive hate for my job but I'm okay wotg it so long as I know the horses are top priority.
Anyway heres the awful job I did on this lovely boy and his "growing out" stage completely not ruined and not itchy or rubbed (yet)
