hmmm NMFD. I have never heard of that, but I guess it would make sense. My horses are already shedding profusely. But, its just beginning so I think its safe to clip. Last year at about this same time, I clipped this same mare's neck on the underside. It took a LONG time to grow in and really not show, but it helped her soooo much.
