Horses can get a fade?? Leg blends (or fades) are fantastic for natives that need to keep their feathering/natural lower legs. When a horse has black points, it’s definitely much easier to get a flawless looking blend. With palomino and chestnut horses the clipped and unclipped coat can vary drastically in colour - so you need to take much more care to make sure you get a smooth colour gradient! Blended using my @liveryman_ Nova trimmers with adjustable cutting head #turnouttips #horsegrooming #equinegroomservices #equestrian #professionalgroom #equestrianblogger #teamliveryman #oddlysatisfying #horseclipping
Half face line using my @liveryman_ Nova Trimmers to get a super sharp edge 🐴✂️💈 A half face line is just one way to clip a horses face - you can totally remove it, clip it partially, or not at all. Choosing to do a half face is generally down to personal preference, and whether or not a horse will let you clip its entire face. It’s also beneficial if your horse is turned out in all weathers, as it leave hair to protect against the elements. #horses #horseclipping #horsegrooming #horsegroomingtips

There are loads of different ways to roll plaits -
Some do the cinnamon swirl method (shown here!)
Some fold in half or thirds.
Some use bands, or thread, or yarn, or pins, or a mixture!
What’s your preference, and why?

Wispy beard trimming 🐴💈. Trimming the jawline makes such a big difference to the look of the horse’s jawline. Here I’m using my Liveryman Nova on the no.3 setting to lightly glide over the longer hairs, and leaving a natural looking unclipped finish. #horseclipping #turnouttips #showturnout #professionalgrooming #equinegroom #horsegroom #馬 #horsesofinstagram #horseofinstagram #equine #equestrianstyle #equestrian #horsefashion #equestrianfashion #equestrianblogger #equestrianlifestyle *All photos and video are copyright Niki Baxter.

Just a bit of shedding from a couple of months ago! It feels like it takes forever for the horses to loose their winter coats, but it’s so satisfying to see it come out!
Chop chop! ✂️ The people that think you should never, ever use scissors on a horse’s mane, are the people that don’t know how to use scissors ✂️Pulling doesn’t work for all horses - whether it’s because they find it uncomfortable/sore, or because pulling doesn’t work for their hair type. There are loads of different methods that you can use to tame a mane - including various cutting techniques using scissors. There are also loads of different styles of plaits that you can do to suit your horse’s hair type - is it really necessary to pull hair from the roots to try and rock one style of plaiting?#turnouttips #oddlysatisfying #teamliveryman #professionalgroom #horseclipping #showgrooming #clipping #equinegroom #馬 #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #horsefashion #equestrianfashion #equestrianblogger*All photos and video are copyright Niki Baxter.

Good diet, good grooming, washed coat, and the right clipping equipment = flawless clip 🖤
For your horse’s dietary requirements, you’re best to speak to an equine nutritionist.
For grooming, good quality brushes are important - none of your plastic brushes, but good quality natural bristles!
Regular thorough grooming is important - you don’t need to spend an hour every time you get your horse ready to ride, but at least a couple of times a week make sure to give your horse a good grooming sesssion.
Grooming helps to massage, increase blood circulation, disperse the natural oils through the hair, and should be a nice bonding experience with your horse.
A clean, washed coat before clipping helps to ensure minimal lines - you’ll get the best quality clip possible on a clean coat.
Clipped using - @liveryman_ Black Beauty, Harmony Plus & Nova trimmers
