Common Horse Clipping Styles Guide | Pony Magazine #3287794 (License: Personal Use)

This infographic from Pony Magazine outlines four standard horse clipping patterns, each tailored to specific levels of exertion and climate needs. The Full Clip removes all hair for horses in medium-hard work, while the Blanket Clip leaves hair on the legs and lower body for moderate activity; the Trace Clip preserves more hair along the back and neck for light-medium work, and the Neck & Belly Clip is minimal, ideal for light work or warmer conditions. Each style balances thermoregulation, comfort, and grooming efficiency.
