Head and Neck Clipping

[RNR]

Hello all

I am wanting to learn about head and neck clipping a mini horse! How far back do you clip ? I would really just like to see pics that way I can see what you all have done!

Any help would be great!

Ah, yes...this calls for the photoo of Mingus and the infamous "alpaca" haircut...

This started out as just a head and neck clip. This was for a clipping optional show last March. I was very picky about following the line of his shoulder. Then I couldn't stand the thought of them not seeing his pretty legs, but I didn't have a blanket needed if I were to do a full clip, so somehow he ended up looking like a Las Vegas showgirl wearing a fur coat...oh well, he got second place...

Thanks susanne!

We have a show this weekend and I made a nice warm hood for this filly I am taking she had hair on her face over 3in long! I was just going to clip her bridle path but then It looked od so I cliped her head and part of her neck I did not want to go much farther than that until I saw pics! She was also very hot today! I will not be doing her legs! Even thought your guy looks good!

Any morse pics would be great!!

Mine is definitely not professional. Just could not wait to see the head on my 9 month old filly.

This is Black Tie's Hotshot Snicker Bar

Her unruly mane covers most of the shaved neck so defeated my purpose.

We follow the shoulder line too. Good example on Susane's horse.
