I've never body clipped before, this is my first time clipping my horseShow season is approaching and i want him clipped this yearI've looked around people on different pages are saying that quot;you should always blanket a freshly clipped horsequot;Its a pretty good temperature outside, around 75ishShould i still blanket him? Other horses i know,are clipped, and seem to be situating just fineTheyre all outside, blanketless, and they dont seem to be bothered by it, even on the chillyish nightsIs body clipping as dangerous as people are making it seem?
Put it right beside the modemI mean come on you either need to go wireless or have cables to reach itThere really isn't much else as far as choices.
I wouldn't say it was dangerous to body clip a horse and then not put a blanket on it, but I wouldn't recommend it, either Put yourself in your horse's shoes :) Would you want to be outside (especially at night) with no clothes on, when you are used to wearing clothes? You say other horses are out on cold nightsWell, some horses are less sensitive than others, some have thicker hair even though it may be the same length, some horses may be fatter than othersAnd some owners don't care if their horses are cold or not and the horses just freeze until they get used to it The only time I body clip and don't blanket is in the middle of summer on older horses who have naturally long hair and stand there and sweat all dayThis is when the low is in the 80'sEvery other situation warrants at least a sheetI don't want my horses to be cold.why take the chance?
