yes you hold the ear together and trim the hair that is hanging out.
Hold the horse's ear so it is closed. Then run your electric clippers along their ear to trim. I've used and seen this method is used to make their ears look nice and trim, the cut hair generally will not fall into their ear, it deafens the sound of the clippers (which should be small hand-held) and you leave the small hairs inside the ear alone.
Trim the ear hair frequently.
Flushing a horse's ear is not something I would be comfortable doing myself. I vacinate my horses, trim their feet myself, and have cared for horses almost my whole life. But I think you need to consult your vet on this one. Except for trimming the hair and cleaning with a soft, damp rag, I never mess with my horses ears.
No, its not. People only cut the hair inside their ears for show. The hair inside horses' ears protect them from flys, dirt, water, etc. If you do want to clip the ears, then you should put cotton balls inside their ear (not too deep, be careful!) beforehand so hair doesn't get inside their ear completley. ~Bree
Yes and no. It is important if you show your horse and the rules state that the inside of the ears must be trimmed. However it is best to leave the hair in the ear for the horses comfort at any other time. You can tidy it up by trimming just the hair that sticks out if you don't show.
Some people do...they think it makes the horse look fancier It is not really a matter of should you/shouldn't you. It is really a matter of personal preference. Many people that show their horses trim the hair in the ears to make them look more groomed, but for an animal that is not being shown, it is not necessary. The hair in the ears is actually a filter of sorts that keeps things (bugs, dirt, etc.) from entering the ear canal. Just like the hair in our noses, basically.
The "hairs" inside an ear of corn are corn silk.
You could,but you might not enjoy it much.The buzzing could potential damage your hearing as well.

Cutting the mane behind the horse's ears is called trimming the bridle path.
ear - woo hoo
The whole ear gathers sound. Deep inside there are bone tubes (called Inner Ear) with liquid and hair looking things inside (Hair cells). Sound makes the water and hairs move. The hairs send a signal to the brain. The brain puts it together so we can understand sounds and music.
