So I was surfing the web and came across this:




So, who has done design clipping? I think it looks like fun, and I plan on attempting it this spring!

I did a pretty lame desighn this year (it was a crescent moon) but it was supposedly supposed to be for a show but it was canceled:( so now its just looks like a C :) people are like why does he have a C on his butt? I just reply his name is Crescent and its supposed to be a Crescent Moon. (I was going to be the man on the moon for the show)

Kind of a stupid question, but how to you get the hair to return to normal when the hair grows back-- im looking into doing the one with their name

I am on a search for a skull & cross bones stencil now! I am sure if I tried free handing a design, it would look like the horse was worked over by a drunk rat!

I did large hearts

Inspired by that photo, freehand, as well as a fleur de lis.


Basically you just need chalk, freehand the design on so it is even on both sides and then go. Remembering that the direction the hair grows is going to affect symmetry.

It's not super tough (I am no artist by any means) but just takes patience. I give myself at least 3 days to complete a design, and you will need smaller clippers. :)

omg! I've never had any want/need to clip my horses, but now I am so intrigued...

If I did it in, say, springtime when they have their huge fuzzy winter coat... once they shed out to their summer coats, would the design be gone? I could be wrong, but I'm picturing the clippers cutting the coat shorter than even a natural summer coat.


I just dont want to have a weird partial design all summer... I do show and stuff lol.

Anyway, some of those are AMAZING!
