Madison Trenaman the ones in this video! i used the oster heavy duty ones and ahh no bueno. these in this video were recommended to me for body clipping!
Maily Louise the whole “Horses need their whiskers for balance” is absolute bologna. Cats need their whisker for balance. This horse in this video is a pampered show horse. Please do some research.
Question: what is the benefit to clipping? I'm more a draft cross kinda girl and I love seeing the hair long but didn't know if maybe health benefit to clipping. Thanks!
Johanna Lilly If a horse is in moderate to heavy work which involves a lot of sweating it is important to clip in the winter months. Not only does the warm hair encourage extra sweating, but it makes the horse struggle to dry itself as the long coat stays damp. This can lead them to getting chills and becoming sick. Just as you wouldn’t wash a horse fully in the winter :)
You really should wash your horse before clipping as dirty hair bluntness the clipper blades but they must be dry to clip or the blades won’t clip at all
At the end of the day most things we do with horses are unnatural... wild horses have a 9 year life expectancy, these days natural is automatically associated with better.. thrush and teeth problems are natural.... of course when u do unnatural things it requires extra care and attention to deal with the problems that can be caused but in my experience most people with performance horses often strive to tend to their animals with the upmost diligence
as the owner of a saddlebred (and one with an incredibly thin and pathetic tail at that) it was almost physically painful to see the tail clipping even though i know thats a thing esp with the eventer/jumping types
you know the "beard" has a part of the cortex inside? it's so important it has part of her BRAIN in it .. now tell me why you shave it? so she looks nice?
Équi Justine Love Horses-Zaira listen dude i dont know about it being a part of her brain, ive never looked into it thoroughly but ive always had horses shaved and none of them have balance issues or problems bumping into things. this is just how i do it take it or leave it
Équi Justine Love Horses-Zaira oh no dude not as in youre a guy just informal like man, or friend, ive never had anyone be offended from that im sorry! i can promise you my horses are perfectly happy and healthy, theres no need to worry/correct me there. i can appreciate your concern!
Whiskers on horse (around the eyes and beard) are very sensitive it helps them find good food, and prevent them from bad surroundings. It's like an early warning sign when they are getting to close to something. It helps them avoid toxic plants in pastures.
Clipping whiskers is actually animal abuse in my country. You wouldn't clip a cat's whiskers either. Horses without whiskers bumb their heads a lot more frequently. Is that really worth meeting your "beauty standard"?
Nora N I'm pretty sure a cat or dog's whiskers are more sensitive than a horse's. when trimming a horse's whiskers, they really don't seem to care so they are not in pain or discomfort.
Nora N Hi I own a horse and clipping whiskers to a cat is much much more harmful to a cat than a horse. Although I don't clip (because I barrel race) I do know that it doesn't to much damage to your horse
Bahaha what on earth! Legit anything done to an animal is called abuse now😂
Marina Avalon right gahh🙃
I thought you were about to catch a mouth full of Zoe hoof xD
People need to chill tf out about clipping their whiskers. It's honestly fine and not abuse at all. But I am curious if you ever clip her ears?
MandKhorses i have but don't really see the point between bugs and winter
I love how you clipped her tail😍
Love you so much, also, what kind of clippers would you recommend for full body clipping?
Madison Trenaman the ones in this video! i used the oster heavy duty ones and ahh no bueno. these in this video were recommended to me for body clipping!
JETeventing Great, thanks!
Omg I loved this video. You should make one of braiding her mane and tail
Makenna Jentgen cant braid her tail as i shaved it haha! but the mane yes!
Yay! I'm looking forward to it
make a braiding video!!!
Fleming Troup will do(:
why do you trim her whiskers? just curious
Solstice have to for shows
Oh wow I've never heard of clipping their tail. That's cool!
Thanks for sharing your tips. Did you know horses need their whiskers for balance tho? It is actually illegal to shave/cut them in Europe

Such a gorgeous tail!!
Again a great video!! 😍👍🏻
Can you do a video on how you roach Zoe's mane into a mohawk? :)
Rebecca DeVito I'm pretty sure she just pulls it. I pull my horses mane and it looks about like that. :)
Omg Zoe is so cute 🐴🐴❤️❤️
How do you know/ how often do you have to clip your horse?
Hey will you do a review on your boots!
Second comment!! Love you videos so much! You r such an amazing rider
"gonna have to" lmao

what are those spots on Zoes back legs? Are they branding marks?? ( idk if thats the right name for it lol) you know what i mean!😂
Brooklin Wheeler noo its freeze firing. they did it at the track
JETeventing this may be a stupid question and you may not see it but what is freeze firing?
My horse loves being clipped on the muzzle! he almost falls asleep! :)
Why do you clip the sides of her tail? And I'm doing my first eventing show this summer... Do you have any tips? Maybe they will help me survive it😂
pin firing on hocks ?

First comment!! ❤️
Love your videos
Love u where u ride what barn
im sure this is a dumb question, but what does that mean? ( i hope im not pestering you too too much with questions! sorry!)
Brooklin Wheeler no worries! but googling it will be much more educational and quicker than me trying to explain it!
Just curious, what's the dots on her back legs?
they are freeze firing dots from the track

for shows
JETeventing do you ever pull her tail? Or does she not like it?? Just curious love your vids
When you girl had beautiful, healthy long tail and then your foal ate it to a nub and jill has to remind you all that you lost at 3:03
Hi! I'm not an expert, but you may not want to trim the muzzle hairs because they help the horse know when they are about to run into anything!
whiskers help with balance

Nora N cats are a quite different in how they utilize their whiskers! my mare doesnt have any cuts and is quite careful to not bump her head(:
Nora N I'm pretty sure a cat or dog's whiskers are more sensitive than a horse's. when trimming a horse's whiskers, they really don't seem to care so they are not in pain or discomfort.
Nora N And I have never trimmed my horse's whiskers before and he always hits his nose on everything anyway. 😂 He's a doofus. Ottb of course.

feel the same way, but still love Jill
