A guide to trace clips

The Peasride Clipper Advice site provides handy diagrams of different ways to clip.

I rarely do a full clip on my horses since they’ve always spent lots of time outside. However, each year, I do a slight variation on the trace clip depending on how the mood strikes me and how long it takes for me to get a straight line.

One of the resources I’ve always used is the Peasridge Clipper Advice site which shows handy diagrams of the different clip styles.

Here are some of Freedom’s “looks” over the years! I’ve still not decided how I’d like him to end up this year although I’m leaning toward a “Chaser Clip.”
