Perfumecat, compassion doesn't come into it. There's no cruelty involved. The people who object are being rather anthropomorphic, in the main, seeing it as undignified - as if somehow the horses are going to be embarrassed. They're not easily embarrassed! And in response to the original comment, many animals who are "dressed up" are much loved little darlings and couldn't be happier. It's the love that matters, not whether you dress your animal up or leave it shaggy and unkempt - only humans (and pretty shallow ones at that) care about that sort of thing.Nicki
This is very pretty but j always wonder when I see something like this, what the down side is for the animal?sjb88
Think the designs are great but why on the article of katie price clipping her horse are there comments from PETA saying it's cruel to animals and that Katie should shave her own head but on this article it's written as a positive thing? It come across as quite hypocritical and unfair.Karen Vicencio
There is no down side. Horse's with cushings don't shed in the summer like most do, and they can get overheated very easily. Clipping is necessary to help them remain healthy.For regular horses, if you are riding them regularly in the winter, they will sweat, and it can take hours and hours and hours to dry them. It's very unhealthy for them to stay damp. It's not the same as when they are being rained on. A healthy horse generally can stay out in the rain, and their skin will stay dry, as the oils in their coat cause the rain to run off and not soak the horse to the skin. But if the horse sweats and it's cold, they are damp from the skin up, and the horse can get chilled and sick. So the horses are better off being clipped, to where they either don't sweat, or dry in a few minutes, and can be blanketed and put away comfortably.
