In the past, the Dutchmen considered it bad luck to clip any hair on the horses, but at the recent Hengsten Keuring in Leuwaarden, most of the stallions being presented were clipped on the chin and jowl, the ears were clipped flat, but not cleaned out. Long hairs on the inside of the legs were clipped to about knee level. If it is good enough for the Dutch Friesian Stallions, it's good enough for my horses. Hope this helps.
