The reason you clip a horse in the winter is because if you ride them with their thick winter coat, they get very sweaty and then it is also difficult to dry them and they end up getting cold. Would you like to run around and excercise with thick jackets on? It’s really uncomfortable for them so if a horse is in work, it’s nice for them to clip them.
And regarding her whiskers, I did not clip them off.
SUPER JOB
Holly, I am so sorry people are ignorant when it comes to horses. Apparently people think a thick coat is needed to keep a horse warm. Um, not if they are being worked and sweat----that would take forever to dry. She looks FINE, also do people not realize you live in Ireland??? You don't get cold winters like I do in Ontario Canada. And for those who think cutting whiskers off of a horse is bad, then I guess all of our competition horses would be bumping into jumps, not going over them. FOLKS!! Our horses are DOMESTICATED!!! NOT WILD! in fact I was joking at the farm I work at (high end A circuit facility), and said not one of our horses would survive in the wild because they are way too pampered! :D
Rant over.
@@LE123LE123 Seriously I was about to say this. Winter in Ireland is pretty mild. It's totally acceptable to clip your horses face in milder climates. People really don't seem to realize keeping horses in different climates is DIFFERENT! Personally I just shorten my horse's whiskers, not completely shave them, but at the barn I work at (another high end A circuit facility) they completely clip the whiskers and the horses don't act any differently.
Darkhorse3211 I think whiskers should be kept on because it's natural but, then again, it's not the end of the world if they are clipped 🤷♀️ I'm just not too keen on feathers being clipped off (something a lot of people choose to clip off). They are there to help keep water off the legs and drip off so the hair and skin dry, preventing fungal infections. But hair in ears being clipped, isn't that there to protect the ears? What happens if those are clipped?
PSA. I haven't finished the video yet so I don't know if the feathers and ears are clipped, but I felt like talking about those topics, regardless.
Hey I live in Tx and it doesn’t get crazy cold but it sure ain’t comfortable if I’m not wearing a jacket of some sort also ya you clipped her that’s great if you constantly keep her in a stall and ride in a covered or protected ring/arena but if you turn them out they can get cold and start to freeze for one I’m not a huge fan of blanket but if it’s FREEZING ya sure still though also whashing her in WINTER srsly that’s not good finally she did not look gross in the beginning she was a fluffy cute little sweet heart she just had mud on her yeash!!!
Something people who haven't been to Ireland in winter probably don't realize is that it's really wet, but not very cold (at least in most of Ireland). It's even more important to clip your horses if they're still in work because of how wet it is, because it's really difficult for the horse to dry off. They are often colder with a heavy coat because they can't get dry.
Coastal Coyote---really? Every show horse we have that goes to Florida has to get a full clip or they would die from heat stroke. Of course, by the time our horses head down south, we've had some pretty cold temp drops (below -10F for some nights) and have some fairly fuzzy critters :D
I'm in south Louisiana and my mustang gets a partial clip in the winter. Its humid and very wet with crazy temperature fluctuations, it may be 80 one day and drop into the 30s that night then not get above 50 the next day. I clip him so his sweat dries faster during workouts and then blanket him as needed. He has a light waterproof sheet and an insulated liner that goes under if he needs added warmth. When he wasn't in full work during the winter months I'd leave him unclipped and wouldn't blanket. But, now we are working more in the winter and take off a few months during the summer (or ride at night).
Lianella Blackwood-Darlington I live there
She will rot if you don't like toe nail fungus. To much wet is not good. Or mold in the hair like peat moss.
Coastal Coyote Here in northeastern to northern US, closer to Canada, it can get close to -20 in the winter. 40-50 degrees is quite warm for us northerners in the winter.
“The makeover of her life, she is absolutely disgusting at the moment” 😂😂😂😂😂 she’s totally unaware and thinks she looks great 😂 bless Fiona xx
Peter the Horse hahah it’s a blessing they don’t understand English sometimes 😂
Nephew rdbdvd
No mirrors to make her vain. The owner is sexy to.
She's adorable and has such a a willing temperament! What a great girl, Fiona!!
Aryn Heath the best girl ❤️
I'm impressed with your corrections when she moves when you're washing her! Nothing like a horse that knows how to stand.
Amy 64 I think it’s so important for a horse to stand still even when they’re not tied up. It’s all about being disciplined and insisting they stand :)
My horse does it every horse should
The colour change some horses go though when clipped is striking, and your mare is one of them.
I think she's beautiful with of without her coat.
Fiona is such a beautiful horse! She seems so patient and obedient. It's nice to see that she has such a nice, responsible, and dedicated owner who adores her. She definitely looked like she felt loads better after all that winter fuzz and grime was removed- her coat seemed like a totally different color when she was finished being clipped. I had to do the same to all of my Appaloosas a couple of months ago. I don't clip my horses, as I de-shed them carefully with a metal currycomb, and, I swear they were shedding like cats!
Also, I don't understand why some people think that this is abusive. She clearly cares for and loves this horse greatly- anyone who cannot see that is stupid.
“She looks so gross” Fiona side eyeing you. “Umm, rude.”
im not an equestrian but i am loving these horse channels. fiona is such a beautiful horse her coat is so lovely
Ur animals actually have a blast.
Dogs and hens running round loving life in the background .
You have such an amazing home I’m so jealous x
Wow! You did a great job on Fiona her body condition, she looks absolutely gorgeous
Charlotte van Nifterick thank you! She’s really filling out now she’s in consistent work 😍
@@HollyLenahanSJ I do have a suggestion for a new video: how the whole process goes from bringing a mare in foal, till the day the're born. I am so curious how it works. Like how do you know which stallion fits your mare best and how often do you let the vet come to check the foal?
Those dapples! What a good girl. She is so mellow and patient. She really is amazing! 💕
Liz Lavoie she has such a great temperament ❤️
She kinda looks like she's wearing a bodysuit. So cute! xD But she really does look like a proper sports horse now. :)
Tier Freak haha my friend said the same thing! Especially with the light brown eyes and nose 🙈
I’m so happy people get to live lives like this, I’ve always wanted to grow up or own a stable like this, so I enjoy watching others share their experiences ❤️❤️ thank you for this video!
Ur horse is so chilled when being washed
i dont know why but i am crying, you 2 are just born for each other.
Her: this crazy long mane!
Me over here with western horses with manes down to their shoulders: ?bruh😂
SomeSleepyHorses AndMe so true😊👌😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😝
Right!? Lol. I love a natural mane. Pulled manes are tacky, imo. Looks like the horse equivalent of a bowl cut.
Omg me too🤣🤣
If I get a horse ima get one with a super long mane and only trim the dead ends
Same.
Oh.. and the tails that almost touch the ground😂
she looks so much taller when clipped! Fab well done Holly
Good job cleaning her up. I’ve owned horses for 40 + years. I really think you should get a bucket squirt shampoo into it and mix with water then apply with a body brush.. I have applied it like you did, the drawback is you get lots of shampoo on top of horse and it is harder to spread it thoughly all over horses body. I do this now for my dogs. It’s saves money in shampoo { which is expensive] your time rinsing, wastes less water, prevents any skin reaction to residual shampoo over withers.
ahahahahahah I downloaded that razor app for my horse too😂😂☠️ i thought i was the only one 😂
where have you been hiding this slender ballerina :D Her coat after clipping is so nice!
Milana.hansen hahah if only her legs were clipped and then she’d look extra elegant 😂
That poor dog... I hope him/her is doing well with only three legs. Also, Fiona looks amazing!
LVDdressage dogs do just fine dealing with an amputation. They don't have issues with body image like humans do. In the case of serious traumatic injury or osteosarcoma, amputation is often the kindest thing and the most therapeutic.
+gazehoundgal I know. My dog has an amputated leg and she has struggled with keeping up with my other dog, but eventually gets around. I was just saying I hope him/her gets better or is doing well.
Hopper is doing SO well with 3 legs. He is just as fast as he was before and keeps up easily with our other dog. We’re absolutely delighted ☺️
+Holly Lenahan That’s awesome!
Same majors not the dog he used to be he's a black lab
i can't get over how wild her coat is! what a cool colour!
She’s SO beautiful Holly! Awesome job! ❤️❤️❤️ and oh my gosh those tiny braids!
She looks stunning! Love the dapples 💕
YAY SOMEONE FROM IRELAND
;)
WE DONT GET MANY UA-camRS IN IRELAND
BUT U R AMAZING HOLLY
awww at 1:03 theres a 3 legged dog :(
What about Jacksepticeye? Or are you talking about horse youtubers only? XD I mean jack is a loud boi, but so funny.
What a cutie and well behaved horse! Love the make over!
she looks absolutely stunning😍❤️
that was *majestic*
Great to see how much she cares about the horse. Beautiful friendship between them. Greetings from Canada!
your smiling & that makes me smile :)
Her voice is so nice!! It’s soothing as well😩
this looks very satisfying😍❤️
This was so relaxing to watch. Thank you!
You did a fabby job and your horse is adorable, she looked so chilled out xxxx
The hair clipping is really satisfying!!
i love seeing videos like these. you have a beautiful horse! horses love being brushed and groomed. it releases endorphins which basically makes them happy. but yea love your horse fiona is gorgeous!!
I love these types of videos!!!❤️
I have that Schimmel brush and I swear it's like magic! Pretty much any HAAS brush is great.
She is so easy to wash !!! YOU ARE BLESSED
Lilo Lilo haha she didn’t used to be, you have to teach them to stand still by insisting on it :)
Such a lovely animal and so lucky to have a beauty day and be well cared for!
My horse Luke ( Luke Skywalker) loves groom day we put cold water on him cause he is in North Carolina and it's triple digits the hurricane felt good on him
The dog in the background in the beginning of the video, so cute
What a beauty!!!!❣️
I love you so much holly!! 😍❤️
So satisfying and such a tidy job😍
I love fiona's hair color. So cute.
I also love how wel she can stand and well you train her when she tries to walk away!!
Horses are actually so nice...
Saw some in a medieval market and I was allowed to pet them and they were super chill and kind.
Idk what this means, but one horse pushed their head against my chest and held it there when I scratched their head.
A really good feeling tbh...
Ahhh she looks stunning😍
it is obvious that you take good care of your horses and I thank you for that
Beautiful horse 🐎
Fiona looked great before but now she looks absolutely stunning and her body condition is amazing, you’ve done a great job!
She's such a pretty horse! And she's got such an interesting pattern on her belly, kond like when you drop salt on a wet watercolour drawing. Surprising how her furry coat is a totally different colour from when it is clipped
You have such a beautiful horse!
We keep our horses manes really long in the states..
Yes! Cutting it short surprised me too.
People cut/pull manes In the states too. However it’s more of a competition thing, it’s easier to braid and such.
For certain disciplines it is done in the states.
It's easier for competition horses to have shorter manes
She keeps them short so they don't get in the way and fly around while she's jumping them.
she's a beauty😍😍
I dont ride my horses in the winter because I'm a weeny in the cold and I have to say, I absolutely ADORE those fluffy teddy bear coats! They're so cute!
Love this! 💓
The three legged dog in the background is everything!!
Here in Maine during our frigid winters, the horses grow SUPER, SUPER thick winter coats. Like, five times the thickness of her neck where you ran your hand through. Season after cold season their integumentary system just naturally provides an almost thicker coat each year. Makes for many VERY, VERY hair/fluff covered days while helping them shed out in April!
she’s gorg 😍
I find it so interesting to each horses getting clipped, sometimes it’s such a surprise to see what’s underneath!
She’s so stunning :)
God video. You are quite the craftsman, clipping& pulling mane like a boss :) Hope you know How good a horse you have- and she became beautiful!!
She’s gorgeous!!
Love it!!!!!!!❤️❤️
Soooo relaxing watching you clipping.😂
This is where my quarantine insomnia has led me to. Not complaining. 😃 Super beautiful horse. Also can I say that after her clipping, it looks like she’s wearing some thigh high boots and SLAYIN’.
She looks so nice after her make over! You did a awesome job I know when I clip my horse it takes all day he has cushions (ppid) so his hair gets so thick! Great video
she's just a wittle babbyyyy
Love these vids💕💕💕
Omg you did so good! Thank you for mentioning the fact that one of your horses doesn’t like mane pulling so you don’t do it. And that since Fiona doesn’t mind it you do it. That’s a good horse owner right there😊
I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m absolutely loving it!💕
Thanks so much! ❤️
I had no idea horses hair was cut. Does it grow constantly? Wow, had no clue about that. I just thought it was always the same length but shed regularly like other animals. My dogs get thick hair in winter and shed in spring.
Actually, they do have winter and summer coats! In summer, usually the coat is so thin that it's fine without being clipped. In winter though, it's very thick. Because of this it's usually clipped, because a working horse will sweat, and it would be colder for the horse to be sweaty and have a thick coat than not be sweaty and have a clipped coat with a blanket on :)
Their coats shed and change with the season. But the mane, forelock and tail grows constantly, depending on genes ofcourse.
Very good video. I learned a lot. Thank you much love!❤️
Those brushes are AMAZING wow she looks like a different horse just after brushing
Such a big cuddle bear :3
That is a beautiful horse!
Who came to this video and disliked? Like why, this was a really good and informational video

You did the clipping very well! She looks stunning :)
When I read the title I literally said I can’t wait lol
There is such a difference 💗😘🐴
She has a very cool color under that fluff! Very cute video!
I Love you and horses ❤
That's absolutely outstanding. Well done! I'd honestly have you tried my horse haha!💞
I love your vids ❤️❤️
Beautiful horse
Hi holly u gave me great advice for slowing my trot and it worked very well! Fiona looks so great❤️ I was so Annoyed because I talked to my friend about meeting you at the RDS (because ur my favorite youtuber) and I was standing the same place as you at one time and was so annoyed I didn’t meet you. But there is next year so hopefully I’ll see u then ❤️
I use they brushes as well... Best thing that ever happened to me!😅
Holly she looks like a different horse
