Answers:

different parts of the body will need clipped at different times as well as if you are showing or just keeping your horse looking nice. I clip the mane and tail once or twice a week during show season and may be every month and a half or so other wise. for the face I clip it close right before every show and not at all other wise. in the winter you should clip your horse if they are inside and you are ridding a lot once a month. if they are out side or you are not ridding then don't clip them.

Their mane? probably about once a month, but unless people are showing most dont get clipped. Their feet should be done every 6 weeks.

We clip ours once a month.

I clip (ears, bridle path, muzzle) my horses about once a week. We have people coming by to look at horses all the time and I like to keep them looking their best.

If you are talking about body clipping, you really need to only do it once a year, if necessary for showing or training purposes. I don't show anymore, so I don't body clip at all anymore, and my horses shed out to a nice, sheek coat because of good nutrition. When I work them they are easy to groom after because they already have nice coats.
