Types of Clips
The Full Clip in which all the coat is removed. This is used a lot in horses which compete in the winter months and would
lose condition if they had to perform in all that thick winter hair. Also used a lot in show horses for aesthetic purposes.
The Trace Clip gets its name from the fact that it follows the line of the traces of a harness. This clip was commonly used in
carriage horses and is popular today in riding horses. The hair is removed from the underside of the neck and belly. A trace
clip can be high or low - the difference being how far up the horse's flank that the hair is clipped. The hair is left on the head,
the topside of the neck and body and also on the legs for warmth and protection.
The Blanket Clip is more radical than the trace clip. The hair on the neck and flanks is removed, leaving a blanket-shaped
area of coat over the back and hind quarters which keeps the back and loins warmer in extreme conditions. As with the trace
clip, the hair is left on the legs, affording them protection from underbrush when going across country.
The Hunter Clip leaves hair only on the legs and the topside of the face, for the same reasons as with the blanket and trace
clips. In addition, a patch of hair can be left in the saddle area if you would like. This clip is used on horses which are in heavy
work in wet and muddy conditions. It makes it much easier to get them clean and dry quickly.
Design your own Clip! If you have a special clip you would like on your horse, we are more than happy to cater. In the past
we have clipped stars, love hearts etc into horses coats!
