Bridle paths...to clip or not to clip...

I always clip a bridle path. All that hair under the headstall looks so irritating and IMO a bridle path looks much better.

Makes it easier to halter and bridle, no mane to get caught in the knot or clasp.

I also think bridle paths look way better/neater on a horse! I'm falling behind on several of my horses' bridle paths though...they look like wild ponies ;)

I usually trim mine with scissors too. Only about 1.5 inches or so/

My horses don't have bridle paths
