GOT BLACK GOO...?


Common scrapes can heal naturally if kept clean, even better if sprayed with anti- fungal spray/salve. Deeper gashes require cleaning with water or liquid antibacterial solution and coated with aloe vera or a tea tree healing salve.


Clipping Options


A full body clip (the most common US clip) resembles your horse’s summer coat yet leaves your horse the most exposed to the elements. A hunter clip allows your horse to stay cool under gallop while leaving legs and saddle area left intact. In a blanket clip, only the shoulders and neck are clipped. Trace clips vary depending on the horse’s job and primary sweat areas. Generally, the back and legs are left unclipped.


A chaser clip keeps the back warm by removing below the poll to the belly, legs are left unclipped. Belly clips cut hair along a minimal strip along the jugular groove, chest and under the barrel.


“I apply one rule: If in work, my horses get clipped, rugged, hard feed and turnout all day. If not in work, they do not get clipped or rugged, just get supplements and hay as well being turned out all day. I have seen many horses with skin problems over the years


from over clipping. In cases of post-clipping rashes, I advise my clients to wash the horse with warm water and Aloe Vera, in a sheltered environment 24 hours after the clipping.” —Zeb-Graham Howard, UK


CLIPPING CAUTION Because hair is an outgrowth of the skin, clipping may cause scabs. The root of the hair is contained in a depression called a hair follicle which becomes coarser and thicker with clipping and even darker with shaving.
