Hmmm...maybe I'll have to change my stance on the issue :-> I was thinking
of my horse based on where I live - AL - he's half shed out now ( and its
22 outside right now :-<) and, since I train and condition in the same heat
my rides are in, it would never occur to me to clip for a summer ride or
show. I guess depending on your training conditions vs. ride conditions, it
may be the smartest thing to do. Clip away <vbg>
