[RC] Clipping/ mud - L gin

I have a Yak arab too. I can't get the ground mud out of his hair in under 30 minutes, and it takes long to cool him out -- and then in the spring, which comes early in Ga. that he sweats easily till May. So when I am riding him in winter I trace clip him. Underside of neck and aline across his middle , including his upper legs and lower often as I can't find his legs to check them under all the hair. I do have to be more careful about blanketing him--- I use a heavier blanket if he is totally body clipped or trace clipped. And diffintnitly sheet during rain under 55 degrees.
P. S. I have notice that the clipped horses and the ones that dont' grow much coat , do not roll in th mud much at all---It it the Yaks that roll in the mud everytime there is a day above 50 degrees.
They are a lot less trouble to clean and cool when clipped---- you just have to have shelter and a couple differnt sheets an dblankets. I also use polar sheets too under rain sheets is it isn't too cold. So is you clip , they need a wardrobe----;0)
