I clip my horses for shows, but don't twitch them. It can be done with patience most of the time. We start our babies off here by clipping faces at 1 month old. Holding them in your lap with mom beside them being petted, and stroking and clipping at the same time, they usually love it. Most babies won't even flinch at ears and eyes. If mom is not freaking out, baby assumes it is part of life.
I don't clip my golden palominos. I think their color is so much richer allowing them to shed out naturally and only doing face and legs. You can blend into the body fairly easily.
For me, showing black horses, they look great being clipped. Like soft velvet. Lighter horses, I don't clip as much.
