Clipping
Why do we clip?
There are many reasons why we choose to clip our horses, and sometimes that reason is simpley because it looks smart, and makes our life easier when dealing with the wet and cold months ahead.
But here are some reason why we might decide that clipping is the right thing for you and your horse.
🐴Temperature regulation: Clipping reduces sweating and helps horses cool off and dry more quickly. This prevents horses from getting a chill, especially in the winter.
🐴Coat management: Clipping can help with the following:
Winter coats: Horses grow thick winter coats to keep warm, but they can overheat while exercising. Clipping helps prevent this.
🐴Cushing's Disease: Horses with Cushing's Disease have a hard time shedding their winter coats, so clipping can help, and make them feel much more comfortable.
🐴Feather management: Clipping can help with mud fever, mites, and Chronic Progressive Lymphoedema (CPL).
🐴Weight management: Clipping can help overweight horses lose weight.
🐴Tack rubbing: Clipping can help prevent tack from rubbing.
🐴Grooming time: Clipping can reduce the amount of time spent grooming.
🐴Coat growth: Clipping can encourage a horse's coat to grow back thicker and glossier in the summer.
I have limited availability now until the New Year, but I do still have some spaces available for anyone looking for clipping services.
I am kind and quite around the horses, with 25 years experience within the industry.
