Here's the answer to your question some people clip there horses in the winter because when they get worked for hours on they can over heat from there hair any other horse questions let me know
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.
A blanket? This varies, depending on preference. I use a waterproof 'rain rug' for my horses during the wet season. During winter, or whenever I clip my horses, I use a winter rug to keep them warm. It's particularly for elderly horses or those with fine coats, but it's good to rug every winter.
You can get winter clip art from a website titled MyCuteGraphics. There are an abundant amount of other types of clip art also.
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.
Ouch!
It depends where you live to be honest! All domesticated horses usually wear blankets in winter, but can be heavyweight rugs, mediumweight rugs or lightweight rugs. Some horses need their rugs in late autumn or early spring, when the temperatures are still quite cold from winter. You can easily build up from lightweight to heavyweight between seasons. You can also layer rugs if the weather is very cold, such as using a cotton sheet underneath. My pony suffers from sweet itch quite badly, so needs her fly rug in late spring, all of summer and early autumn. Horses can also benefit from summer sheets in the summer, to protect skin from sunburn if necessary, or light cotton sheets. Stables rugs and coolers are great for horses which are stabled a lot of the time. Just remember, use rugs according to a winter coat clip, if it has one.
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.
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.
Horses "clip clop" as the walk
It is called a bridle path.
When you clip or shave the section of mane behind the horses ear, it is called the bridle path. It is on www.Howrse.com riding level 2.
Horses grow long coats in winter. Horses that are ridden or worked can become overheated very fast so it is usual to cut off most of this excessive hair. This is called clipping. Clips can be just a few lines of hair to allow sweat to drain off or almost the entire coat. The hunter clip is one of the more extreme, leaving the hair long only on the lower legs, belly, saddle patch and parts of the face and neck. This clip is used on horses that work very hard, such as racehorses, eventers or hunters.
