Never body clipped any of my horses, but I have a twenty-five year-old mare with PPID. She came out of winter as shaggy as a mammoth despite medications. It's been an an exceptionally hot spring where I live, so I body clipped her today, and she was so happy to get all that hair off. Thank you for the little tutorial.
The four body clips for horses are: the trace clip, blanket clip, hunter clip, and full-body clip. Of course, if you are going to clip your horse, you must have blankets handy, turn-out blankets for outdoors, and stable blankets for in the stables. After all, it is good to keep your steed warm in cold weather, and without its natural fur coat, it could catch cold. With body clipping, though, you won't have to deal with the predicament of your horse sweating profusely should you work it hard regardless of season. It can take hours for the sweat to dry out, and the horse is subject to draft, chill, and illness while the owner spends at least half the day trying to get the horse to be dry again. The way out of this very predicament, body clipping. I would probably do the full-body clip on my horse if I had one. I would, of course, be sure to have a few different kinds of blankets handy for that matter.
I need to clip one of my horses because he sweats profusely and he has a really thick summer coat (its his breed) ,so in winter after giving him a workout even if he has a big winter blanket and a huge winter coat he still freezes (he can't stand to stay in a stall for even an hour ,he goes crazy and tries to do whatever he can to get out even if he can interact with his buddies) and in summer with his thick coat he over heats and he's even hate a stroke due to how hot he got and clipping has helped all of that .he does great with it and actually enjoys not having all of that hair on him ,but he hates having a short mane and with the mane even if I French braid it ,its a hassel to clip his neck....he's a lot of work but I appreciate him a lot and love him so so much too
Hi SilverMoon76, thanks for your question! When it comes to clipping a horse with Cushing’s, it’s always a great idea to check in with your veterinarian to see if there is any preference that he/she may have, since they will know your horse best! That said, what kind of clippers you use will depend on what type of clipping you are trying to do, and what you’d like to achieve. One of our favorites for body clipping is the Andis AGC 2 Speed Clipper (which you can find on our website here: www.smartpakequine.com/pt/andis-agc-super-2-speed-clipper-w-t84-blade-free-blade-case-and-cool-care-8077). You can also read all about how to choose the right clippers and blades on our website: www.smartpakequine.com/content/blanketingClipping If you have any further questions, free give us a call at 1-800-461-8898 we would be happy to help! - SmartPaker Olivia
Hi :) try different clippers. Yours is only lest then 4000 s.p.m When u buy and other clippers make sure the are a lest 9000 s.p.m that will save u a lot time and no to many liens . And if u use blades 10 is cut faster then t84 . Good lucky:)
Hi KayEventing 2001, thanks for your question! When clipping a horse’s coat, we’d definitely recommend working with someone that is familiar with coat clipping and can be there to help you and your horse the first time. For blades, it is most common to use a T-84 blade, which brings the coat to a nice short length without leaving them “naked” looking. You may want to look into using a #10 blade for your horse’s legs, too, if you have white socks that need to be clipped down for summer horse showing. For more clipping tips, you can also check out our Ultimate Blanketing and Clipping Guide (www.smartpakequine.com/content/blanketingClipping) and this body clipping how-to video from one of our Team SmartPak rider’s grooms (czcams.com/video/pt5uoemo5VM/video.html). For any other questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call directly at 1-800-461-8898, we’re happy to help anytime! - SmartPaker Jenna
The most important result of clipping involves having all of the horse hair stick to you. Egad, it's itchy! The old pro horses that get clipped all the time tend to be put into a pleasant chill out mode from the buzz. Horse is now officially naked meaning that SmartPak will have somebody needing to buy a blanket.
The Horse didn’t even have a lot of hair. Literally no point on doing this unless there are significantly hairy because your blades get blunt, it takes a lot of time and most horses don’t enjoy it.
usually high quality show horses have to look good at a certain standard. Even if they barely have any hair, they have to be clipped down for the "show horse" look. If they have uneven hair, it can sometimes effect the votes of the judges.
Show horses usually sweat a lot and it can sometimes really irritate the horses skin ,one of my show horses sweats a lot so its alot more comfortable for them to be clipped
Well I can tell you haven't researched the reasons on clipping! I WISH I could leave my horse with its winter coat on and still ride but it isn't practical. He starts sweating after a quick ride, then it takes hours to dry as his coat will be so thick, so he will be in danger of chills while can be pretty serious. It is actually an inconvenience for me, but I do it for his benefit.
@@laurenkasdan7376 Sounds like I would not put my horse in a situation that is not in his best interests, because it is about the horse, not my selfish interests.
@@ellentraquair3974 Good God. Are you out of your damn mind. It is not a theory. It is how horse interact in a herd. Observe and learn the true ways of horses.
I've always wanted to clip a horse. Not for the purpose of clipping it, I just want to watch the satisfaction of clipping

Why didn't you clip a saddle patch to prevent ingrown hairs? That's what my barn does.
Equine Soul sometimes you have to clip the whole horse, specifically for showmanship and halter classes :)
Equine Soul she did
Why do the ears get clipped?
They said go quints the hair then said go with it lol
Why are they clipping the horse when it has barely any hair? Also, I thought you clip horses mostly for winter?
Sinette working show horses sweat a lot if there’s fur they will sweat off there fat
Pamela Spatzler if they sweat with a heavy coat it will burn off fat so if they are clipped it won’t burn off the fat
@Pamela Spatzler You do not have to be rude to people who are just stating their own opinion.
@@Silver-Frost279 She wasn't rude.
Even just the smallest amount of hair can make a horse sweat.
I bet one person will be like
ABUSE❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Lololololollolololololololololololol
Jumping My Mare so tru
literally every clipping video ever

Can I ask you to use helmet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Switzerland and Germany don’t allow the clipping of any animals whiskers
The American Indians didn't have clippers so how did they shave the horses hair?

Chill on his ears
Honestly I see no point of clipping their ears so pls don’t
Aisha Darsha just coz u don’t see a point no 1 should do it
Body clipping is stupid. It is a selfish act, not in the best interests of the horse.

Sounds like you’ve never owned a working horse in the winter.
