Clipping Creations: New Year Edition

There’s nothing that says “horse person” quite as much as the sensation of a buzzing clipper in your hand for two hours straight, wearing a rain coat and rain pants inside the barn, and sneezing horse hair out of your nose for days. Yep, it must be clipping season. I want to see your amazing, entertaining, beautiful and clever clipping creations. Send me a picture that shows off your artistry and a little blurb explaining what it’s all about. Include the name of your horse, your name and where you are from. Email [email protected]!

Andrea G, Texas: “Here’s my clipping creation for the year, on my Selle Francais mare O-Ren. My vet said she looked a bit like a castle… or possibly the Great Wall of China!”

Maddie, Lansing MI: “I am leasing a 7 year old Holsteiner mare, nick-named “The Puma”.  She has earned her nickname by harassing other horses in perfect puma form — pouncing on them and scraping her teeth to create claw like marks down their backs.  Despite her little quirks, she is very handy under saddle — a careful jumper, a sensible mount out on the trails and a very fancy mover.”

Brianne, Maryland: “This is Hershey and his clip design of a seahorse. We took him to Assateague Island and rode on the beach for the first time ! He had so much fun and loved the ocean, so I decided to clip a seahorse on him.”

Kelly Doke, Mequon WI: “This is my 22 year old AQHA gelding, Red. I’ve had him for most of both of our lives, at this point. He’s retired from jumping but is a veteran of the Hunters, Equitation and Jumpers, plus a little foray into Eventing. (He drew the line at getting in the water.) I keep him fit and active with Training/First Level Dressage work now. Up here, winter is too long and life is too short not to have fun with your horse’s haircut so I left the Starfleet symbol on his hip this year. I’ve been a Trekkie almost as long as I’ve been Horsey and I do everything I can to make sure he continues to live long and prosper. ;)”
