[RC] Clipping - Mary Orosz

You guys are great!  Here’s another subject – Do you clip for the winter?  I am just stated training again. Last year I just did a small trace clip.  The horses are out 24/7 with the choice to stand in their stalls.  I have been blanketing to cool them down – Jack who gets sweaty from work and Star gets sweaty from running around like an idiot while we are gone.  Now, at least Star has gotten used to being left behind, so she only runs a little when we take off and when we get back and doesn’t need to be blanketed.  Is it better to clip Jack now so he doesn’t get so hot while riding.  I am new to endurance so these were things I never had to think about before.
