"Pull out GENTLY" Impossible! There is no horse in the world who likes being pulled. A study showed that every horse has pain and stress during this mane pulling. Just cut it with a scissors or cut it with a comb with a knive attached (look it up, it is amazing!) I use the last one for my Belgian drafthorse. And pulling out the hair of the tail: Seriously? That again hurts! Just trim or cut. (my Belgian draft doesn't have a tail though, just a bunny fluff) Never trim the whiskers! Ever! You kind of blind the horse here. He uses them to find food and to feel the difference between kinds of food (in the field). The bridle path is really nice though. I really need to do that with my horse. I just got her and she needs a trim there.

some horses actually do enjoy having their manes pulled. i know a mare whose lip gets twitchy and she just starts to fall asleep when hers is being pulled. and then of course there are those that are much too reactive to pull it, but not every horse hates having it pulled.

My teacher told me that they don't really have nerves at the base so grabbing the mane doesn't hurt but this*... That's barbaric for no reason. Scissors exist for a reason. This is ridiculous. 🤦‍♀️

horses need whiskers on their muzzle (what is being clipped off in the video) each whisker leads to a nerve cortex in the horses brain. i have met horses that havent eaten for days due to have their whiskers cut off them. without them they cannot find their way in the dark of judge the depth of what is infront of them (for example some horses i have met would continually put their nose dangerously low in a bucket full of water because they are unaware of how close they are to the water). trimming or cutting whiskers is also banned in many countries but unfortunately is still legal in the us and uk despite how much it can restrict the horse to their normal way of life

+horseoholic Horses need their whiskers to literally "feel their food"! And just because others do it or some stupid judges (who seem to care more about looks than about riding - I wouldn't give a f*ck about what these judges say anyway) doesn't make it right!! There is a reason why clipping horses' whiskers is forbidden in so many countries - here in Germany, we make fun about those who do it - only riders who don't have the riding skills to win the competiton (but enter it anyway) try to impress the judges with "good (and unnatural) looks" ;)

Thanks you two, that was really helpful. In the winter I have to clip at least 12 horses and a lot of then have problems with having their ears trimmed with scissors, but I was never shown how to do it with clippers. I managed to get them done in half the time now.

I love how in the beginning the horse stuck his head out to see what they were doing. SO CUTE!

i have seen parts of your show and now i am going to have a marathon and watch all the episodes even if i know how to do something. it never hurts to re learn (can't think of the word right now) stuff

To me clipping a bridle path would irritate the horse Because when the hair starts to grow back the stubble from the short hair contacting the halter would rub and feel prickly causing discomfort 😕 But that's just my opinion

That's why you trim it nice and regular or don't bother. I trim one of mine with scissors so it's nice and flat. The rest don't have them because they don't wear halters / bridles. I do it regular but sometimes it grows to prickles, and he's never minded it! And he's the type that will let you know if he's not happy. ;) but I totally agree with your point. This is just from my personal experiences. ;)

It's far more discomfort to have a full mane in the area and wear a halter or bridle that gets hair tangled or wrapped and may pull on the mane. The regrowth tends to not be too much of an issue for discomfort and for the winter I allow regrowth and the hair kind of just lays flat and is less than 1 inch in the months where it is freezing and has not caused discomfort to any of my horses in over 25 years. I don't keep it trimmed in the winter due to the cold and like it to have some hair there so it's not shaved close to the skin like summer.

its not good to trim them, but not bad either. depends how much you are actually trimming. if its just the out side and a little on the inside its fine, other wise you just put some fly stuff int here ears. muzzle, i would say you can trim then off completely because they dont always hunt around for holes do they :P but you can always leave them about 6-7 cm long..

@eveledbetter3329

+henriette oakheart There are plenty of reasons not to trim the muzzle: the horses brain has cells specifically to receive information from those muzzle whiskers, so it should not be dismissed as unimportant. Because of the location of a horse's eyes they cannot see directly below them. Those whiskers act as a way to guide them where their eyes cannot. Those whiskers serve an very important purpose. Yes, a horse can survive without them, but that doesn't mean that they should have to. A human can survive without fingernails, but no one would take pliers and remove all of their nail beds.

@vicpeterson8780

8 жыл бұрын

henriette oakheart the air on a horse's ears is there to stop flies from laying eyes in them and to stop dirt from getting far enough in to cause infection. So it is not good to even trim that even a little. As for the whiskers, I'm with Eve. There is no reason to trim the whiskers that YOUR HORSE NEEDS other than because you just want him to look better and don't care about and the things that they help your horse with.

very helpful thanks!

Followed the way to trim the horse tail on my horse when I got him. Did the same length and everything as they show here but since he lifts his tail up so high in the trot (he is an x-trotter) it looked like I had chopped off half of his tail. So after that little accidet I only trim it to where his fetlock is since when he lifts his tail, it looks alright on him. The tail length is the only thing I trim on my horse since I want to grow out the rest of the hair he has

I love ur intro!

That "pull out gently" looked like it hurt lol

Wow love your videos

what the actual hell!!! I have never ever seen anyone clipping the mussel hairs. I've seen the excess hair sticking out of the ears (not the hair inside the ears). Those hairs in the mussel are for feeling the surroundings. Taking them off is so unnatural. And I know it's equally unnatural to have them inside stalls etc. But why make it even more unnatural??

Love your vid

Thanks!! I may try this on my older TB then his tails becoming a little lack luster as he ages :) If a little trimming makes it look fuller, it is a much better option than the fake tail IMO. :D

Hi thanks for your question. As far as we know it is just a fashion thing. For horses that don't have much of a tail, it can help make it 'look' a little thicker at the bottom. It also provides a cleaner look and means you don't have to braid the tail either which is kind of tricky to do really well. Hope this answers your question

well done !!

I'm a rider and groom and I take great care and joy in making sure the horses looks great, but I NEVER clip the insides of the ears or muzzle hairs despite of what others may say. I would want them to sense around without any problems with insects, objects, etc or when they are amongst their touchy- feely equine buddies in the pastures. How dare you take that bit of nature away from them for competitive reasons? As for washing, I didn't see any of that unless you count the guy's efforts in the beginning, just don't do that too often because the natural oils in the skin serves a purpose. Where do you think their smell and shine comes from? Don't like any of these things mentioned, then don't do any hands-on activities with animals and visit the petting zoo instead. I do agree with clipping a ear-long bridlepath for it does look tidy and it gives the horse a clean looking head.

My horse is a Saddlebred Show Horse. it is common practice to shave the muzzle, and hair in the ears plus bridle path. He stays in a stall during show season and from experience this is the case with many show horses, not just Saddlebreds. I asked my vet and don't some research on the use of whiskers on a horse. at one time they were important because of the need to sense the stuff on the ground but more that the have been domesticated, it does not matter if you keep them or not. as far as the ears, I trim the inside hair and he wears a fly bonnet during the months when the bugs are bad. Next the bridle path, in the show ring is supposed to accentuate the look of the horses neck. the longer you cut it, the longer the neck appears. this is very common amongst Arabian and Saddleseat horses. Each person has a right to do what they feel is the best thing for their horse but dummy criticize others for choosing to do certain grooming techniques because you don't understand the full story behind that particular horse. If you don't know the different standards for each breed then do not critique something that you have no understanding of. Horses have many parts of their bodies that are of no use to them now that they have been domesticated. For their size, they have very delicate systems and they are fat more important things to worry about them whether or nota person clips the whiskers or hair in their horse's ears. Let grooms and owners go by the breed and show standard. if you want your horse to have an all natural look, then by all means keep him that way, otherwise keep your mouth shut. No one is hurting a horse by clipping it.

Love it!

Love it!! :)

what is the intro song it's on the tip of my tongue I just can't remember

To what purpose does shaving the tail do? Does it have a purpose or is it just a new eventing Fad for fashion? I would just like your opinion as I've been seeing more and more shaved tails like that. Thanks and Great video!!

I remember my mom telling me to trim my horse's whiskers and I got very upset with her and said "Trimming his whiskers in equivalent to cutting a cat's whiskers off! It's painful for him." And she understood why I got angry. I will never pull a mane or tail, trim whiskers, or shave out the inside of my horse's ears. I can just trim his mane and tail with a comb and scissors and his whiskers can be left alone so he can be a normal horse

What breed is the horse at the beginning? It's so beautiful!

There's really no other way. You just have to keep introducing them to your horse. I have a coming 2 year old who I have bridle path clipped once since I got him (his first time) and he really didn't like them but I didn't rush and in the end I got it done. The best advice I can give you is DONT do it when you in a rush. If you act like you only have 15 minutes it will take you all day but if you act like you have all day it will take you 15 minutes :)

leah vengley This is probably a bit late in replying but a good way is to grab a bit of the mane and like in the video, use your hand as a guide, trim a bit at a time (so you don't make a mistake) until you have the desired length and then finish off the mane. Don't cut it in one huge length like you do to bang the tail because it looks really obvious that you've cut it with scissors, hold the scissors with the blades pointed upwards and snip at the mane until it's the length that you want, like a hairdresser does when you get trim.
