Partial Clips: The Best of Both Worlds

Several clipping options allow you to get the best of both worlds—remove hair where your horse sweats the most, but leave enough to provide warmth.

By Annie Eldridge

Which clipping method you choose depends on your level of riding activity, your climate, and your horse’s turnout, barn and lifestyle conditions.

Even the most modest of clip jobs, however, require some sort of blanketing. When you remove a horse’s hair, you expose his skin to the cold. If you clip, you’ll need to commit to daily blanketing and unblanketing.
