Horses don't really 'need' to be clipped. If you won't be riding or showing in the winter it is best for the horse to allow them to grow out a winter coat. If however you do show or ride during the winter you would want to clip the horse in the fall when the coat begins to come in thicker than in the summer. Once you begin to clip you must keep the horse blanketed to prevent chills. If the horse lives out at pasture even during the winter you may want to try a partial clip instead of a full body clip. To tidy up the whiskers on their muzzles, and long hairs on the chin and pasterns you can clip these down about once a week to every two weeks depending on how fast they grow back in.
