So what type of clip do I go for this spring? Blanket clip? Full body? Zebra?

To Clip or Not to Clip
I have been seriously considering clipping Twister this year. I want to keep training and be ready to gallop out of the starting box first thing in May. But then I got to thinking about how much weight Twister lost last winter, and that was eating top quality grain, with all his hair and a blanket all winter. So maybe I won't clip yet. Maybe I'll wait until March or April and then clip him as the weather warms up. A few weeks ago Twister looked super fat, which is fine by me being that it's winter now. But I looked at him yesterday and I feel like he's already lost weight and it's barely been cold. I wormed him and I'll see what happens from there.

If you do clip only trace clip.
ReplyDeleteNo clipping: Interval training with cool down or soak intervals.
Feed " Fast Track".I sell it to you for $ 17.00, last you for a long time.
After training : burlap sack or straw whisk rub down....Fast Track helps you with his wheight.
He is on high quality grain and our hay this year is WAY better than last years. I wormed yesterday and hoping he can stay healthy this year. If I have to buy another blanket to help with the cold I will. In the winter he only gets ridden 3-4 days per week.
