This message is from: Sherle Monheim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've been lurking here for the past two days reading about clipping and showing. We took our stallion to about six open shows last fall and the classes were some where between 8 and fourteen, most quarters, saddlebred, morgans. We clipped his muzzle & chin hairs, and just the outside edges of the ears. Left the legs and eyes unclipped. He place second in 4 of the shows and 4th in 2 of the shows. The judges knew what kind of a horse he was, but the other people showing couldn't believe where he placed against their well groomed, clipped and oiled fancy horses. So in my opinion, try it and see. Its a lot of fun taking them to open shows and the amount of exposure is wonderful for the breed and your horse. Thanks Sherle in Northern Wisconsin where we still have snow and ice!!!!!!!!!!
