That's what I do. Her clipped parts are always bone dry.On particularly hot sweaty warm horses that you dont need to rug but want to take as much as possible off, take a picture/mental note of where they are naturally still dry when its been raining. Its quite surprising how much of the lower body stays dry and i use it as a line to clip along.
Yes, that’s the plan. I will wait until he’s properly sweaty so it’s actually worth clipping him- he won’t really be working up much of sweat whilst just walking anyway.@HaloHoney , unless he's sweating very badly I'd suggest waiting until the initial walk work has been done. Some horses can get a bit bright when clipped & that's not helpful if you're restricted to walk & any boinging may set back recovery.
You might not need to.Going to clip my beast when he goes back into work. I’ve got some clippers, going to pay someone to supervise me.
Thinking of going for a blanket clip first off. I can always take it further if he’s still too sweaty.
The point of clipping isn't merely to prevent sweating but to allow it to dry quickly so I'd say if she only sweats on clipped bits and she drys quickly it's doing its job.I'm in two minds whether to redo the bib clip. She came back sweaty from yesterday's ride, patch of white where the reflective sits.
But no where else. So not too sure what to do, or not do.
It's just not cold.
Yes no sweating on the saddle area or girth just this front bit.The point of clipping isn't merely to prevent sweating but to allow it to dry quickly so I'd say if she only sweats on clipped bits and she drys quickly it's doing its job.
Where abouts as the Tyrex rugs come with a neat belly cover.Pete's currently coming in SO dirty, it's difficult to tell he's even been clipped ...!
