Body Clipping

Do you guys body clip for Oklahoma? I usually do, but I don’t know if I should. Is it a good idea? Do most people…?

  1. We do, they don’t seem to loose as much color in the summer/fall as they do in the spring.

    I personally love the look of a freshly body clipped horse.

  2. We body clip, but we do it as close to the show departure as possible. Generally, we ship out the monday or tuesday before the show, which means I body clip on sunday.

  3. I body clip my horse before Nationals….like Alicia I do it as close to the show departure as possible. After I’m done body clipping I do a hot oil treatment and that really helps bring shine to the hair.

  4. We do not, unless it is absolutely necessary. Which, in the last 3 years has not been. Luckily, my trainer has some sort of Mojo-magic for being able to keep their show coats looking like mid-july up through the middle of October.

    Right after OKC, they seem to blow out the winter coat. We joke that the all get on the trailer, and strain to pop the hairs out while they ride home!

  5. We body clip almost all of our horses before OKC. If you do it the week before you go, their hair has grown just the right amount by the time you show.

  10. We body clip whoever needs it…usually about 50/50. We clip at our layover outside the fairgrounds just before we set up and then we move hores in. They are clipped just under a week before they show the first time generally. Some of them are considerably hairier by the end of the show!
