Horses are generally clipped when they are in hard work during the winter and really sweating, though it's not necessary. Clipping is rarely NECESSARY, though many owners of horses with cushings disease will clip their horses for their comfort in the summer months.
Ouch!
A bridlepath is the section of a horses mane that is clipped from behind the ears a few inches back. Different breeds have different lengths of bridlepaths. Most horses bridlepath should be about the length of the horses ear. Arabians bridlepaths are about and ear and half length. The longer bridlepath accentuates the horses neck which should be arched in Arabs.
A trace clip is a type of horse grooming cut where hair is removed from the underside of the neck, chest, and belly to help the horse stay cool during exercise by reducing sweating. It is a common clip choice for horses in moderate work in colder climates.

You should clip any horse in the winter that is doing enough work to sweat a lot, because with their winter coats they take longer to cool out and get colder with their heavy coats preventing the sweat from evaporating. Clipped horses should always be blanketed at least at night and it is an act of kindness to leave the legs and long whiskers on the chin unclipped.

If you mean clipping as we would call shaving on humans, then it is really up to the individual, not all horses are clipped. but if they are clipped, and you want them to stay that way, just clip them when their fur is longer than you want.

its not actually on the horse, its kind of like a way of cutting a horses fur, you "clip" their hair, like shaving some-one's head, there are lots of different types of clips which just include clipping the fur off in different places basically, the hunter clip is just one of these.
