🌟 Did you know? 🌟

Horses do NOT grow hair according to temperature! Horses grow hair according to daylight. Shorter days tell them to start preparing for colder weather - but guess what? The days are still HOT! Horses in full work suffer greatly in the fall due to rapid hair growth without the relief of cooler weather! Aside from those in full work, those with medical issues who might struggle to regulate their own temperature or hair growth, need assistance as well. If you are considering or on the fence about clipping your horse, whether you use myself and my team at Armour Equine Services or another professional, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have. It is a tough time of year for everyone and we are here to provide comfort to our equine friends and knowledge to our human friends!

Handsome Romeo at Yonahlossee Stables in Boone, home to the Appalachian State Equestrian team. This was his first time being clipped and he is quite ticklish! We wish his new owner, Katie Laverick, and her new partner best of luck with their summer endeavors 🍀

This is handsome Riley at the Thoroughbred Training Center in Mocksville. He was hunter clipped in the fall and was reclipped for the spring on Tuesday of this week. This guy is sensitive about his head so we stopped there and gave a clean line around the jaw using an Andis 10 blade. Riley is feeling fresh and ready for spring riding! 🌷 Thank you as always to TTC for hosting, and for owner Maggie Watts for entrusting McIntyre Grooming Services with Riley’s hairdos ✂️

Time lapse of part of Birthday Girl’s full body clip at Snowy Creek Equestrian! She is a Gypsy Vanner and has such long and thick hair that she was getting too hot with this warmer weather starting. She also has trouble with “scratches” on her legs, so we clipped her feathers to treat and allow the spots to breathe. She is feeling better already!
