Why Clip?

A clean horse is a healthy horse.

It is truly impossible to keep a hairy horse clean when dirt and sweat build up under a thick coat. Mud, arena footing, and sweat build up under the hair on the horse’s legs. All of this can easily result in skin irritation or infection.

Keep your horse from a potentially dangerous chill.

Horses are really hard to get completely dry after they get sweaty from exercise and training. Blanketing a damp horse can result in the horse catching a chill. A clipped horse is easy to dry and easy to keep warm.

Ease of care.

We have all been there, at the end of the day after a great ride you are left with a hairy sweaty horse that may take hours to dry. Body clipping helps to keep the horse cooler while working, and therefore less sweaty. Cleaning your horse after winter or summer riding is much easier without all of that hair and sweat to deal with.
