Equine Clipping Services

A pre-clip bath is essential for a smooth and neat finish as well as ensuring no damage to your horses skin our our clippers/blades. A dirty coat will cause track lines and uneven patches on your horses coat.

It is also essential that your horse is also dry so we recommend bathing the day before and rugging with a clean rug until their appointment.

When due to weather bathing is an issue you can place a warm damp cloth and coat conditioner over each area of your horse. Leaving it there for a few minutes can draw dirt out from the skin however this is no substitute to a full bath when weather is not an issue.

We do not require your horse to be sedated however, if your horse does require sedation you must either have your vet administer it or be able to supply and administer it yourself. We do not supply or administer sedation of any kind.

No we use battery powered Heiniger Saphir clippers which are fully portable and run on a rechargeable batteries. We carry enough sets of clippers and batteries to last roughly 8 hours of run time without recharging.

We have carefully selected our range of equipment to best suit both our clients and us. Our clippers are quieter than traditional large animal clippers with just as much power and fewer vibrations. This means that we can provide a more pleasant experience for your horse. We also don't use mains powered clippers as the power cord can become dangerous around a nervous horse.

A proper groom or bath post clipping is crucial for your horse to prevent leftover itchy hairs. We recommend you use our coat conditioner every other day for a week to help the coat settle and replenish skin oils. Also, provide suitable rugs for warmth post-clipping.

When your horse is clipped, you may notice light lines on his coats from the clippers. This is because clippers can unsettle the hair follicle, and it will retain the shape of the clipper blade teeth. The skin and coat need a few days to settle back down to where they were before clipping which is why our coat conditioner is recommended.

A distinction exists between a poor clip job and a coat that requires time to settle. A bad clip job occurs when the blades have difficulty picking up the hair, leaving varying lengths behind. The primary cause of a bad clip job is a horse with unclean skin.
