I've been pondering this subject myself. I know that some folks swear by
clipping. I'm not one of them. I only blanket if it gets really cold
suddenly or there's no shelter or I think it might sleet and they have to be
out. I have always found a direct proportion between the amount of time I
rideand the heat of the horse when I'm done. If it's cold, my horse probably
issn't hot.
