Update on Fair Hill
Spent today at Fair Hill, grooming trails and staining/urethaning hazards.
Saw NO 'gators, but by the looks of the water hazard, there could be a

Boy, I hope you never do see one riding 'cause then they could keep

No gators, but at least no bears or moose either. Just the average

killer buzards (drive my horses cuckoo) and guinea hens ('feral' vs wild?) plus
dogs,
bikes, and so on. We have coyotes but have never s

Jean,
Alligators? I live in MD. We get some pretty big snakes but the
only other reptiles I know of would be the occassional
run-away-from-home lizard.
Have ridden in Mexico where we had to watch for and avoid
aligators.

Glad you will be at Fair Hill. I hope to see you there. I think I have
Friday to look at the horses. The rest of the weekend will be pretty busy.

I would clip him before the CDE, but maybe not until about 2 weeks prior.
Marnix gets an entire body clip, again, I clipped him before Gladstone, but
even with a blanket he's grown too much coat to do a marathon. He will remain
blanketed thru-out

Marty,
go for it and clip. Kilar will be ever so grateful - and hey, they don't
call it a 'trace clip' for nothing... And my vote is with the hard hat. If
it feels right, and safe, JUST DO IT!
Good luck, good night and happy drivin

Martie,
I compete my Fjord a lot in dressage and to me, it is imperative that they
are clipped otherwise they suffer by overheating. I live in a warm
climate(CA) and I often do a full body clip twice a year. I clipped my
competition horse at least a week

You gave a really good explanation of clipping! I did want to add a couple

I always try to clip as clean a horse as I can muster, weather permitting.

Misha asked how to get a clip to look smooth.. I am no expert here but the
theory is to follow the direction of hair growth as closely as possible with
the clippers. This might mean curving them around as you move along. Long

You don't tape the whole horse, silly! You can re-site the tape to get it
even, and it also provides a good edge, or guide, for the clippers, sort of
a template.

Hello out there,
I am currently riding two fjords year round here in the Pacific Northwest,
Wez and Misha. I clip both of them for the same reasons that others have
stated ie they get hot and wet from work and then stand around and risk
getting chilled.

We draw the clip line on Kilar with those washable pens before we clip.
This works pretty well as you can get an idea where to clip and how it will
look. The thought of taping the whole hors

having such a long coat. I have not worked them so intensely int he winter
before so Inever trace clipped. The horses have run in stalls only--unless
