Madison Trenaman the ones in this video! i used the oster heavy duty ones and ahh no bueno. these in this video were recommended to me for body clipping!
Maily Louise the whole “Horses need their whiskers for balance” is absolute bologna. Cats need their whisker for balance. This horse in this video is a pampered show horse. Please do some research.
You really should wash your horse before clipping as dirty hair bluntness the clipper blades but they must be dry to clip or the blades won’t clip at all
Question: what is the benefit to clipping? I'm more a draft cross kinda girl and I love seeing the hair long but didn't know if maybe health benefit to clipping. Thanks!
Johanna Lilly If a horse is in moderate to heavy work which involves a lot of sweating it is important to clip in the winter months. Not only does the warm hair encourage extra sweating, but it makes the horse struggle to dry itself as the long coat stays damp. This can lead them to getting chills and becoming sick. Just as you wouldn’t wash a horse fully in the winter :)
as the owner of a saddlebred (and one with an incredibly thin and pathetic tail at that) it was almost physically painful to see the tail clipping even though i know thats a thing esp with the eventer/jumping types
At the end of the day most things we do with horses are unnatural... wild horses have a 9 year life expectancy, these days natural is automatically associated with better.. thrush and teeth problems are natural.... of course when u do unnatural things it requires extra care and attention to deal with the problems that can be caused but in my experience most people with performance horses often strive to tend to their animals with the upmost diligence
you know the "beard" has a part of the cortex inside? it's so important it has part of her BRAIN in it .. now tell me why you shave it? so she looks nice?
Équi Justine Love Horses-Zaira listen dude i dont know about it being a part of her brain, ive never looked into it thoroughly but ive always had horses shaved and none of them have balance issues or problems bumping into things. this is just how i do it take it or leave it
Équi Justine Love Horses-Zaira oh no dude not as in youre a guy just informal like man, or friend, ive never had anyone be offended from that im sorry! i can promise you my horses are perfectly happy and healthy, theres no need to worry/correct me there. i can appreciate your concern!
Whiskers on horse (around the eyes and beard) are very sensitive it helps them find good food, and prevent them from bad surroundings. It's like an early warning sign when they are getting to close to something. It helps them avoid toxic plants in pastures.
Clipping whiskers is actually animal abuse in my country. You wouldn't clip a cat's whiskers either. Horses without whiskers bumb their heads a lot more frequently. Is that really worth meeting your "beauty standard"?
Nora N I'm pretty sure a cat or dog's whiskers are more sensitive than a horse's. when trimming a horse's whiskers, they really don't seem to care so they are not in pain or discomfort.
Nora N Hi I own a horse and clipping whiskers to a cat is much much more harmful to a cat than a horse. Although I don't clip (because I barrel race) I do know that it doesn't to much damage to your horse
