Wash the horse 🚿🧼

Every winter we promote washing horses prior to clipping, this winter is no different 🤭

WHY❓
📍Your horses comfort- prevents hair snagging and pulling in the blades
📍Your clipper- reduces strain on your machine
📍Your blades- helps longevity of blade sharpness
📍Finish- ultimately you will achieve a much better finish by washing prior to clipping

❌Avoid❌ using any pre clip oils or coat sprays prior to clipping these can coat your blades and cause them to generate heat. There is no substitute for a good bath and or groom ✅

*if you are in a situation where bathing and stabling prior to clipping isn’t an option hot cloth every day in the run up to clipping and keep the horse adequately rugged so they are dry and clean- a thorough groom taking a full hour that works up a sweat then the day of clipping will suffice*

So true, a horse is never wasted as long as they are loved 🥰🐴

So often clients will share their worries that their horse is “wasted” with them. I think they carry the weight of guilt that they’re not out there “fulfilling their horses’ potential” as well as navigating the perceived judgements of others. I’ve seen it happen and I know that’s tough to deal with. 😞

But here’s a little secret … your horse genuinely ONLY wants to be well fed, have clean water, plenty of time in the field with his friends and somewhere to shelter from the weather. That’s all. They do not hold the same ambitions or dreams that we do, they don’t know what HOYS or Hickstead or Badminton are … they do that stuff purely for us (which only makes them all the more wonderful doesn’t it?!)

Our horses fulfil all their desires simply by being a horse. 🤗

If you’ve bought your horse for sport then that’s a wonderful and rewarding thing to do together but please know that if that’s not what you do with your horse and they have all their needs met, that’s as much as your horse wants and needs, and he is in no way wasted.
