Question
hello sir, which part of the horse body to be clipped in winter

Answer
The horse does not need to be clipped during winter. If you let the hair grow naturally as nature intended to grow, it will help to keep the horse warm. Some people clip the horse for show purposes but this is not intended for health reasons. If you blanket a horse for winter, the hair will not grow, and this is fine. But you will need to keep the blanket on the horse in cold weather because the natural winter coat of hair will not have grown in.
