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.

When cleaning and grooming a horse is it important to cut the hair inside the horse's 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

How do you flush a horses ear out?

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.

Can you cut the hair in a horses ear?

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.


What clip do you use when you shave off a section of hair behind the horses ears?
