Its so freaking hot here in AZ. My old mare is really having a rough time of it. This was her first winter in AZ (was in CO for several years and in SD before
that). She has a pretty thick coat and sweats profusely now that the temps are in the high 70's during the day.
Last year at this time I shaved her neck around her jugular and that seemed to help a bit. I was thinking I might as well just trace clip her this year though as we are done with out winter weather. And, I have a blanket so if it does get freezing for some odd reason, I can keep her warm.
Anyway, how do I go about trace clipping? How do I decide where to clip her? What clippers are affordable, durable and well made?
