Horse Clipping Tips:

The best way to make sure your horse clipping and trimming goes smoothly is to just follow some simple steps:
  • Start with a clean horse coat: This may sound silly and an obvious one but it is very important to make sure your horse's coat is clean and free of dirt. Even the tiniest dirt particle can make the clippers not work as smoothly and effectively as possible. A good brushing or even washing is always the best way to make sure your clipping job goes smooth.

  • Make sure your Clipper Blades are clean and oiled: This helps prevent the clipper blades from losing their cutting edges prematurely.
  • Disinfect your blades: This is important if you use your clippers on more than one horse. Use a disinfecting blade wash or spray to help prevent the possibility of transferring skin problems from one horse to another.
