Because life with horses is never orderly.

How I feel every time I pull my clipped horse’s banket off to groom and ride…

Poor schmuck has every right to buck me off when I have him running around naked at 7 a.m. in the 15 degree weather.
So as much as I loathe body clipping, I agree that for working horses it’s somewhat of a necessity (especially for mine that grow coats like yaks). However, that still doesn’t make me feel less awful when I first pull their blankets off to groom when it’s freezing out.
