Mane Pulling - $30

Some people leave this task undone, they perhaps worry that they will do a poor job and produce more problems than they can solve. However, a well pulled mane gives a good appearance. It is much easier to maintain, than a long thick tangled mane - especially in the winter when it is full of mud!

Body Clipping

Full Clip - Horse $150 / Pony $100

The most popular clip for horses in work is the full clip, also called the show clip. The full clip involves removing the coat from the entire body and legs. A horse with a thick coat can be clipped entirely the first time and then in subsequent clippings have the legs left natural. When done properly, a full clip will typically look like a normal summer hair coat, just a few weeks after clipping.

Hunter Clip - Horse $100 / Pony $75

The most common clip for horses doing hard work in the field is the hunter clip, which leaves long hair on the back where the saddle lies and on the legs. The hair is left on the back for additional padding under the saddle and the hair on the legs offers protection while traveling through brush. This clip is ideal for fox hunters, trail horses or breeds that have natural feathering on the legs. While the traditional hunter clip suits a hunt seat saddle, variations of this clip include the "eventer clip" or the "plantation clip," where a larger area of hair is left on the back to accommodate different style saddles.
 

Blanket Clip - Horse $75 / Pony $50

The blanket clip leaves long hair on areas of the horse's back, loins, quarters and legs. Hair is removed from the neck, shoulders and belly. This clip offers the horse protection from the cold while exposing enough of the body to allow more rapid cooling during work than with the trace clip or a natural winter coat.
