Clipping a horse’s hair off! Oddly satisfying

[samanthaedenfield]

So I looked this for those who were worried.

THIS IS NO HARM TO THE HORSE!! Though body clipping is optional for the owners ( like a crew cut or designs you would get on the side of your head), it’s mainly to help the horse keep cool in the summer or if it has a condition where it can’t shed its coat naturally which can lead to further skin problems.

For the people hating on this person for clipping their horse let me explain!

The horses fur gets extremely thick during the winter and by the time summer hits it takes a LONG time for the horse to loose all that thick coat. It's not fair for the horse to be in a paddock overheating so people clip them! It makes the horse so much more comfortable and it only takes a few weeks for the coat to come back.

Also, I'd like to know how many of u haters actually know anything about horses because ur all assuming the horse will get 'cold' or 'sunburn' but horses are wild animals, they can stand comfortably without a rug in lower that 1° and they stay in the shade on hot days, most owners also make sure their horses wear thin cotton rugs in hot weather and in cold and rainy weather a thick rug.

Hope that answered it.

For all the individuals shouting abuse...Horses in work (being ridden) would overheat & be very uncomfortable if the thick winter coat was left on so it's removed, the horse is then adequately rugged before being put out in the field.

Beautiful clean coat! You can tell they're well looked after 😊

I'm just fascinated by the difference between the skin tones and the hair...

Прочитал комментарии и опупел сколько праведного гнева и всякого иного, неужто элементарная лень не позволяет залезть в Гугл и поинтересоваться зачем это делается 😮 Хозяину лошадки респект ❤😊

Horses sunburn as well, not just people!

Я думаю, что у лошади какое то заболевание кожи и без этого нельзя вылечить. Наверное сверху папонку оденут.

Also, if youre riding them in cold weather, they sweat and get chilled . This way, theyre not wearing soggy fur.

Most horse owners do not clip their horses like this because even though at the time it may cool them, if it doesn't grow back in time it can make the horse not have enough of a winter coat for the winter. If you want to cool your horse off spray him down with the water hose.

ЗАЧЕМ ВЫ ЭТО ДЕЛАЕТЕ? НЕЧЕГО СНЯТЬ И ВЫСТАВИТЬ В ИНТЕРНЕТ? УЖАС!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

When it’s winter time your supposed to shave your horses cause they sweat while you ride them, it’s normal to shave your horse in winter and summer. IT IS NOT ABUSE

А когда коту делать нечего, что он лижет?

[ТатьянаИванова-дц]

Ненавижу когда издеваются над животными.Хочется послать всяко-разно и дать в морду. Или что ещё похуже сделать.

I am a Korean equestrian
I clip my horse periodically and this is not abuse.

The reason I clip my horse is that my horse is weak against heat and lacks patience.
Simply pouring water won't fix it.
The water dries quickly due to the high body temperature, and when the water dries, she breathes short of breath due to the heat again.

And my horse's feathers get dirty easily, which can pose a threat of infection to horses who are prone to leg sores from being distracted.
Not only me, but most riders wear fly sheets and spray anti-burn spray to protect from burns.
They also apply a specially formulated oil to protect the skin.

In order to do clipping, I do training to get used to the clipper, and I feed a lot of snacks in between clippings.

Also, if the horse is tired, stop immediately and resume when her condition is good.
So it usually takes 3days for her.

Where do you think the clipped horse hair goes?
Horse hair will get stuck in your shoes, in your hat and even in your underwear and will haunt you for a week.

Horse hair grows really fast and grows faster when the weather gets colder.
In winter, horses (especially youngsters) are more likely to catch a cold if they exercise hard and sweat in the cold air.
That's why I shave fur that can contain sweat, and even in cold weather, I use a blanket(if necessary) to regulate her body temperature after clipping.

My colt has air conditioning in the summer and a heater in the winter, but that's not enough.

Clipping is cumbersome for people as well as horses, but I enjoy clipping for my horses :)
