It's sort of like bidding at an auction...set your limit BEFORE you
start. Decide exactly where you're going to stop before you start
clipping because it's kind of addictive. You have this fuzzy monstor in
front of you and you start peelling away layers and you find one of those
horses they jog out for the Kentucky Derby underneath. It's so *pretty*
and *shiny* and you just want to uncover the whole thing. Before you know
it your horse barely has a furry fig leaf to keep him warm the rest of
the winter.

I've always been a little confused about our "endurance clip". We clip
away the parts the blanket doesn't cover...belly and neck...then we throw
a blanket over the parts that it does cover, leaving those bare sections
to face the elements. I guess we figure we'll "superheat" the covered
parts and the blood can rush through the artic neck and belly area to
warm it back up??. I'm considering following the old endurance tradition
of being a tradition breaker and clipping the parts the blanket *does*
cover, then blanketing.
