Unconsciously, I hope, if I was doing the shaving.

Horses are taught to stand still for clipping. Some will be more patient than others, and for patterns like that one, a little sedation might not hurt - just to minimize the chance of a twitch or sidestep at a critical moment. But many/most horses will stand amazingly well.
Leaving the legs unclipped, along with an area under the saddle, used to be called a 'hunter clip'. I supposed the 'wing clip' could be called a variation ... the hair isn't taken right down to the skin, but the horse does need protection from cold in the clipped areas, so horse blankets are used.
Sigh ... I miss my horses ...
But, Grav! You're back!!
