I think it's really important to bath the horse (or a dog) before clipping. 
This will give you a much better clip and not dull your blades the way dirty 
hair will.   I've never had a problem with Kool Lube being left on the skin, 
but I wipe my blade after each spray.   One thing that I do when clipping 
(again horse or dog) is to spray the clipped area with a mixture of 
Listerene and water (1/2, 1/2 mixed in spray bottle) after clipping, then 
wipe with a towel.  This disinfects the area that is clipped and discourages 
any fungal infection that may start on the skin.

Good Luck!
Linda
