Project runway barn style…clipping edition

‘Tis the time of the year when horses are getting their first winter clipping.  When I was younger I always thought it was strange to clip horses in the winter, but we of course do it to prevent them for getting too sweaty while working and to help them dry off faster after a rinse off post-work.  The goal is to avoid getting buried in hair and it looks like the above rider has found a pretty good strategy.  Thanks to Jess Halliday and her team for the photo.  Here is another photo sent in by one of our readers showing some EN love:

Mimi explained about the above photo: “Well I’m not the best with a pair of clippers but I did manage to get an EN in on my 21 year old OTTB on his 3rd career – BN eventing.
