"Horse clipping in a stable yard as part of my job, very satisfying to watch. During regular exercise, this thick coat can cause your horse to sweat excessively. This sweat, combined with the cooler temperatures, makes it hard for your horse to regulate its body temperature. While this is the most common reason why horses are clipped, it is actually not the only reason. Clipping can benefit horses in several other ways depending on the animal. Some people also clip their horses if they have a skin condition or if they need another form of medical care that requires access to the horses skin."
