We spent the last few days having our second round of body clipping. We did the first round in late May, and ended up clipping around 25 horses. Round two was a lot easier since we "only" clipped ten horses this time. My shoulders had barely recovered from round one, and they've let me know that ten horses was plenty for round two. As always, the horses we are having to clip have PPID/cushing's, and they never stop growing hair. Some horses we clip once during the season, others up to four, it varies from horse to horse. It can also differ from year to year with each horse. Sometimes we end up clipping a horse more often, and sometimes we end up clipping a horse less often. We treat each horse as an individual so that they each get what they need. We'll move on to round three of body clipping in the near future.

King hates being clipped so we drove a generator out into the pasture and let him eat while he was clipped in the pasture with his buddies. Talk about delivering customized service.
As always, Sparky the donkey had the most hair to be clipped off and stood the most still
