He looks so different! 😱Look at those long legs 🤣he looks fabulous, he pulls off his new do so well 😍

[@RidingRemington]

His legs look sooooo long dont they?! Supermodel!! 🤣

[@ellaandmyequines]

Aww he looks amazing! I did feel sorry for him when he looked at his legs and was like “where my feathers gone?” But he looks amazing! You did a great job! He was funny in the field, He could probably feel the cold a lot more 😂😍🐴

[@RidingRemington]

Poor guy, it will definitely feel strange! Hopefully when the hair starts to grow back a little he will feel more comfortable.

[@shizukagozen777]

He was like "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME ?? 😨" 🤣🤣🤣

[@RidingRemington]

It will take him a little while to get used to it.

[@shizukagozen777]

@@RidingRemington Yes, I think so too. 😅😂

[@mariespierin5737]

Love his sports cob look. Hope all goes well at the vets

[@RidingRemington]

Thank you ever so much x

[@graceohanlon6772]

Looks amazing like a proper sports horse now x

[@suzannerichards4885]

I learned this from a coach of the Special Olympics Equestrian team. If you are using a scissor to shorten mane, (if it not too thick, like on my Haflinger) comb to the other side, dampen it at the roots to keep it there. Cut then comb it back over. You'll get a much more natural edge.

[@jimmyyounger618]

Great tip!

[@lisalawrence5334]

Reckon Rem was like, "I feel a ton lighter without all that hair" LOL

[@marksouthall5110]

U have ruined that horse

[@easprotsandthots1693]

Mark Southall it’s hair... it grows??? not like he’s bald

[@marksouthall5110]

But gypsy cobs are meant to stay hairy and fat I should know I have got 30 and I’m a gypsy

[@RidingRemington]

He didnt know what to do with himself - Bless him!

[@easprotsandthots1693]

Mark Southall it’s just a horse that’s like saying all quarter horses have to be ranch horses all thoroughbreds have to be racers all arabians have to do endurance traditions change

[@lizgarland2241]

He is happy and loved to bits and great to know he can pull off both traditional and sport. Lucky girl. Lucky horse 💚🍀💚

[@sarah_max20]

I LOVE GYPSY COBS!!!❤ He's so beautiful!

[@lizziedodd7243]

He looks AMAZING!!! Like a different horse 🙊 love how felt weird without his feathers at first bless him 🥰 I hope all goes well with the vet investigations 🤞🏼

[@jimmydominey9965]

Looks so much better, and cleaner. Good job!!!

[@arimcmichael123]

He looks awesome!!! I love it!!

[@FreeSpiritBudgieLady]

I think that long hair on any horse is fine as long as it doesn’t cause problems for the horse and the owner has the time to keep it relatively clean and manageable. But some horses you see have ridiculously long hair, totally impractical for an average rider to maintain. I would be happier if excessive hair was not a breed ideal. Just like in dogs and cats, long hair is fine when kept well groomed but the animal suffers when neglect sets in. I love his new look and his looking at his legs and feet in amazement was a joy to see!. He must feel the difference feeling the air on his legs and neck as he moves. Seeing him prancing and bucking around the field, he looks like a new horse!. The pattern of his coat looks amazing!😉🥰

[@Lauren-xk6nn]

Awww he looks so different but gorgeous and I LOVE you hat !!

[@heatherradford1994]

He looks so gorgeous and obviously loves the feeling of less hair ha. I do love him xx

[@georgiagirl1961]

I like his look. Hes smart looking with his makeover. I love the traditional but I think this is a smart change. I love it. He looks amazing.

[@michellecan6189]

Awww....xx He looks fantastic 🥰 I prefer this look and I'm sure he feels alot more comfortable.

[@dancing.with.adagio]

Wow he looks SMART!

[@hennaroo2]

He looks fabulous 😍 it was so satisfying seeing his legs being clipped!

[@chesshughes9156]

He looks so happy in the field! Must have felt so good he looks amazing!

[@ffion7068]

Omg i love his new look, definitely looks smart, and alot sportier, love the new sports cob look

[@BrooklynHudson]

I know I'm a little late here. He looks beautiful no matter the length of his hair, but when he's sporting that long flowing look, he's just stunning. Like a dream or fantasy. He's such a good boy.

[@sharroon7574]

I think Cobbs horses walked out of a dream and onto this earth.

[@sarah_max20]

True haha!

[@shanjanusman9974]

Only watching this now as Leeds has all of it's stables and liveries closed down apart from essential parts like feeding and veterinary treatments. What an amazing and beautiful horse you have and this channel is amazing even though I haven't watched it in ages 😀

[@leannebourgeois1098]

You are a very smart girl! Having worked part time for an equine vet for 25 years, I saw a few feathered horses come in for lameness exams. Generally the owners were mortified at the thought of clipping any hair off. Sometimes it seemed like the feathers were more important than the lameness. You made the right decision. He seems very pleased with himself. Not looking very lame in the field.

[@v4mum]

He looks gorgeous!!! What an amazing job you've done!!

[@RidingRemington]

Awww thank you, it was a team effort - No way would I have trusted myself to clip his legs, I'm awful at clipping! Hehe x

[@sparklesandmagic]

Loved watching them play. Hopefully he continues to feel this way 💕💕

[@chloecotton6787]

he looks super smart!!!!!

[@suelittle253]

In the end, even he was pleased. He knew you had really spruced him up!

[@fourlegsandatail7882]

I used to shave my cob I had on loan. Helps with not getting mites etc. I'll be doing same when I get my own etc. Beautiful cob. Reminds me of bobtail the cob I had.

[@the_horse_girl3710]

He looked so happy when all that hair was off his legs😂😂

[@ladymare11]

He looks stunning xx💕

[@sallypate5885]

Wowoowow soph he looks incredible!!!!! What an amazing job you have done. I'm actually thinking I like this more 😍😍 what a big step for you too ❤️❤️

[@karenlugg1386]

Remi looks fantastic and from the way he was throwing himself around the field I don’t think there can be too much wrong, unless he injuries himself in that moment of madness in the field.

[@RidingRemington]

I was thinking exactly that "you don't look off now" haha

[@rozwood1668]

He looks gorgeous...he even stands proud and tall! Xx

[@michelledenise2502]

I did it like a month a go and my horse is so happy now and it safes me a lot of time! Love it! And rem looks so georges😍💕

[@michelledenise2502]

Im sorry rem looks handsome😂💕

[@mollyhayes3584]

I’m so excited for this video, I can’t wait to see the difference! I love your channel! X

Hope you enjoy!! 🙊

[@hannybeeh]

I prefer him in his traditional look but this turned out better than I thought. 😊🐴

[@karlabutler8546]

Rem looks awesome clipped, fingers crossed 🤞 for a speedy recovery and Rem being back to his usual self, although he looks pretty awesome in the field!!

[@RidingRemington]

Thank you Karla xx

[@84Moori]

Wow, what a difference! 😊🌟

[@lifewithbertmari9868]

Sophie, he’s so handsome with and without his feather. You’ve done what’s best for him and it will grow back regardless. Love his reaction so so sweet of him x Sports Remmi

[@averyprice6134]

Awww!!!!!!!! I love the Remi make over!!!! He is just adorable 😍

[@hikori3941]

I laughed at his reaction to his legs, especially when he peered down at his front ones like “where did my feathers go?!” 😂

[@aoifetravers95]

I can’t believe it 😱 he looks just as handsome with the turbo trim 🥰

[@RidingRemington]

Awwww, thank you - It is growing on me x

Can’t wait for this video! Yet again I hope Remmi is ok when he goes to the vets x 💕

[@RidingRemington]

Thank you so much!

[@Thatholygal]

I love how when he went back to his paddock he kept throwing his head around like wooo look at my hair guys aren't I stunninggg

[@Muddipaws1308]

He looks lovely you did a great job. I prefer him like that. My only that irks me is the mane. I was very surprised you took scissors to it. Once it's tidied up more he will look stunning

[@evieandmilton2114]

I actually LOVE it 😍 Great job x

[@noompje86]

He looks great!!!

[@LibHalpsLondon]

I like it! I think he looks so much bigger and really suits him

[@nixequestrian3721]

Wow, he looks amazing all trimmed up!

[@TwoJollyJockeys]

He looks SO good!!

[@andrea0307]

Wow wow wow, what a transformation, Remmi looks fantastic with his new makeover! Think he very much approved, sure he needs to go to the Vet’s? Very much the “live wire”, maybe the makeover was what he was feeling he needed! Laughed at his Spring has sprung paddock moment, but in Autumn 🤔! ♥️🙌

[@RidingRemington]

I would LOVE it, if that was the miracle cure! I imagine if the vet had seen him then, he'd probably have said there doesn't look to be too much wrong with him! Ha!

[@eibhlinmackie7925]

He looks incredible! You might have to get him some boots now without all that feather protecting his legs 😯. Hope all goes well at the vets x

[@emilyr7297]

Amazing video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@sarabutler7506]

Gosh he looks fab, hope all goes well at the vets xx

[@RidingRemington]

Thank you!

[@GAMEBEATER6000]

Gypsies are one of my favourite horse breeds and if I were to own one I would never shave the feathers or mane and tail I think I would just tidy them up haha 😆 it’s just what I would do! The result for yours is absolutely beautiful!! His reaction to his legs was priceless 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@katiekelley3984]

He looks good but how long will it take for his mane and feathers to grow back in?

[@beckyjones5722]

I think he looks great, The only question why do his feathers now? When they can protect his feet through the winter!

[@RidingRemington]

As explained in the video we clipped his legs for medical reasons, so he could receive veterinary treatment.

[@muddybootssandytoes]

Aww pleasantly surprised also. He looks super sporty. Hopefully it’s all good with the veterinary investigation x

[@RidingRemington]

Thank you x

[@realisticequestrian8229]

He looks and feels a million bucks! 😉😄 The end was so fun to watch!

[@staceykearns315]

He looks so so different but I absolutely love his new look :]

[@equestrianashes6564]

AAAAAHHHH REMI IS SOOO CUTEEEEE

[@olivialaird3785]

I love Remington new look 👌❤️👍

[@CrimFerret]

He looks sharp with the mane trim. His tail looks far better thinned out a bit as it has more movement. I was a little sad to see his feathers completely trimmed, but they will grow back looking better.

[@tiaatkinson6462]

Did this with my cob, makes them look so different and welshy!

[@RidingRemington]

I said exactly the same, he almost could pass as a part bred Welsh haha

What kind of razor are you using I just want to know because my razor never cuts but he looks so be

[@daniellemiller7061]

Beautiful

[@ozbird03]

He looks so smart!!! I take my girls feathers off and she always so sporty when she is freshly clipped out x

[@RidingRemington]

They do look really sporty don't they?! I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it!

[@Julesy980]

I like this clean look way better than the way these horses usually look, but I think nearly every horse, and especially this kind, would look super cute sporting roached, and then 'mohawk' (partly grown out roach) manes.

[@aimaisingxo6197]

He’s definitely feeling his new look😂 looks amazing!😍

[@RidingRemington]

Awww, thank you x

[@HugginAndHorses]

He looks so good!!! I think he loves not having the heat and weight from his fur lol

[@brendaswanson6629]

I've always wanted to see this..I can't wait to watch you ride him all clipped up

[@Mrs.jimmy_kimmel]

I love Gypsy’s and I have always wanted one when I get a horse. But I feel like the traditional made them not look as athletic so I was always on the fence about it. Seeing this makes me want one sooooo bad I love the sport look

[@ez129]

I think he rocks the sports cob look he looks really smart 😍

[@ECBeventing]

He looks amazing !! Just wondering if he's been diagnosed with arthritis in his hocks ? Sounds very similar to what happens to my horse Bobby ! Xx

[@ithulah]

First video I've watched of yours... By total coincidence I broke my ankle about 8 weeks ago and you are doing so much better than me recovery wise. I'm still in a boot and using one crutch. I'm due an MRI next week because it isn't healing properly. Glad yours was straightforward at least! Can you put closed captioning on your videos pretty please?

[@kirstyj9293]

Bless him his reaction to his legs was the sweetest lol cobs can literally pull off any look !....I love a Traditional Cob to be Traditional but having said that my Traditional is hogged he still has his big fluffy feather's and his long thick forelock which I always keep plaited and obviously a huge bushy tail but he is hogged as his mane is so thick that it causes a lot of ingrown hairs and it really bothers him so I had to bite the bullet and hog him but I must admit I absolutely love him hogged ! Remi looks so gorgeous 😍 he certainly seems to agree with all that showing off lol I just love how they have a mad half an hr without a care in the world like they pay their own bloody vet bills lol I never know wether to laugh or cry when watching mine lol

[@RidingRemington]

You can beat a long forelock, it's my favourite! I know, I was thinking "please don't hurt yourself!!" At the same time though, it is lovely to see them being a 'horse'

[@alisonwilks302]

Remmi's happy !! That's all that matters . I've always been clip- curious !! The vet told me not to , the farrier said to do so !! I'm going to reserve judgement on the feather clip - jury is still out xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@RidingRemington]

100% that Alison, we just want him to be happy! X

[@lifewithbertmari9868]

All we can do is what’s right for our individual horses x

[@alicefletcher3060]

Is it bad if I say I prefer his new look?

[@AimeeandJasper]

As a cob owner, I urge you to look into CPL in horses as he’s showing the beginning signs, it’s a manageable condition but needs managing to stop it progressing quickly. My little sports cob has it and it hasn’t worsened since the year ago I spotted it and he’s still fine to jump ect 😊 fingers crossed for you!

[@RidingRemington]

We’ve been doing lots of research into CPL as I suspect he might have it too. Taking his hair off was a blessing as we would be none the wise otherwise as he has never had any issues up until now 😊

[@AimeeandJasper]

@@RidingRemington there’s a brilliant FB group for CPL horses 😊 would 100000% recommend joining! I mean I love a hogged cob so I’m bias but he looks amazing hogged!

[@misschieflolz1301]

I think aside from personally liking the tail a little shorter.... the only thing I'd add to this is using thinning scissors on the end of the mane. Just gives it a less blunt look at the ends, aside from that, everything really suits him, he even looks taller!

[@headhighheelsdown3291]

Okay I’ll admit. I saw the thumbnail and was literally outraged. My words were ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOIINGGGGG’ but oh. my. god. I LOVEEEEE HIS NEW LOOK. He looks amazing! I’m SHOOKETH!
