Loving the support from the local Purdon Barn down at the Franklin Trotting Track. ๐ช
Why do we clip horses in winter? โ๏ธ๐ด
When horses are in work through the colder months, they can grow a thick winter coat that causes them to sweat heavily during exercise. Clipping helps them cool down more efficiently, dry faster after work, and stay comfortable throughout their training.
It might look a little strange seeing a horse clipped in winter, but it actually helps us manage their wellbeing and performance while theyโre in full work.
A fresh clip, a warm rug, and theyโre ready to go. โ๏ธโจ

No races for us this weekโฆ but weโve been hard at it ๐
Another week of building fitness, fine-tuning, and doing the little things that nobody sees.
The glamour is in the winnersโ circle, but the magic happens here.
It took some convincing to get Kasper to see the farrier at lunch time today but we came to an agreement. His demands were met ๐ซก๐
