Clipping is essential for show horses to make their mark in the ring or at the races with a highly presentable appearance.
But it's not just about appearances!
Clipping is beneficial for horses that perform in humid environments and under extreme stress to help them stay cooler longer while performing or by increasing their ability to recooperate from strenuous exercise.
You horse does not just have to be a sport horse to consider the benefits of clipping. Geriatric horses have difficulty shedding out their heavier winter coats which will thus increase their inability to cope in the hotter weather and will decrease their chances at leadingĀ a healthier lifestyle. Cushings afflicted horses are also prone to heavier coats and the inability to fully shed them out to a normal summer length.
