ECM Equine Clipping

30/10/2024

🙌🏼🙌🏼

‘I just bathed him last week!’

Did ye, aye? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I always ask my clients to bath their horse the day before clipping (this is to allow for adequate drying time).
Most of my clients are booked in around 2-4 weeks in advance, so that’s plenty of time to organise bathing your horse!

But really, why should your horse be as clean as possible for clipping? 🤨

• To prevent dirt, grease, mud, grit etc blunting blades super quickly, causing them to snag and pull on your horse’s hair.

• To look after the clipper motors - dirty hair and blunt blade will put excess strain on the motor, which will cause damage, and an expensive repair bill.

• To make is as comfortable an experience as possible for the horse - hair snagging HURTS.

• To get the smoothest, most flawless, perfect clip possible.
Dirt = lines and patches.
Clippers are perfectionists, it upsets us to leave you with a sub-standard clip.

• To avoid a ‘dirty horse’ surcharge from your professional clipper, or a repair bill for damaged equipment.

We hate clipping the horse like this, we hate what it does to our equipment, we hate charging more money.

Bath your horse.

These lovely boys had their monthly clip today 🦄

Another full clip, hog and half face for Sparky. His dapples looking particularly glowing today 🖤 So pleased with the finish 😍

Romeo has his second little clip today 🤎🤍 We will continue to build his confidence and do a little more each time. He was a little soldier and took it all in his stride. He had a bib clip plus a bit 😂

Just delightful 🥰💈✂️

Strawberry 🍓 what a sweet little man!

When I get asked to do a blanket clip my heart sinks BUT practice makes perfect and I'm determined to get those lines right 😬✂️

Strawberry is now all ready and smart for pony club tomorrow 🐎

Gorgeous George had his first clip of the season today 🧡 It's exactly one year ago today when I did his first clip!

He was super and also a little surprised to see all his hair falling on the floor 💈😂 just love this orange boy and he's extra special because I've known his mammy a VERY long time, I think we worked it out as 20 years 💖

He had an Irish clip and half face, a favourite of mine as it's simple but keeps the horses comfortable when in work ✂️

Super smart Sydney had his regular full clip this morning, including legs and full face 🤎💈

Nearly a full wheelbarrow of hair and I definitely still have hair in my eyeballs 😅

Clipped using a combo of Lister Liberty's and Liveryman Harmony Plus.

The gorgeous Amadeo had a full clip this morning 🤍

He was freshly bathed so super easy to clip.

Clipped with cordless Masterclip HD Roamers and I LOVE them!

Mr Sparks having his monthly full clip 🖤

His owner likes to ensure he's kept comfortable as he's often out and about doing lots of fun activities.

He's just the perfect gent and the most versatile coblet 💈

Clipped his body using Lister Libertys and his legs/hog using Liveryman Harmony Plus.

Clipped this lovely young man for the first time today and he was a super ⭐

We aren't too sure if Romeo has been clipped previously so wanted to test him out with a little strip on his neck and he stood like a champ 🏆

It's so important to take these first clipping sessions steady and give the best possible experience.

I used my Liveryman Harmony Plus clippers which are super quiet and cordless and so great for young or nervous horses 💈

Happy Easter everyone 🐇

I hope you are all surviving the rain... What a difference to yesterday ☔

I haven't been active on my social media for a while due to a very busy few months with my day job but I am still clipping and today I got to meet 3 new clients ✂️

First up is Sonny who had a full clip with half a face. What a transformation, see before and after photos 😍

Second is Louie who also had a full clip with half a face. 🖤

And finally, Truffles who hasn't been clipped before so I did a small strip on her chest and tidied her face as a quiet introduction. She stood like a little gem 💎

Thank you to all my clients old and new and for all your recommendations. I am truly grateful 🥰

Em had her second clip of the season this morning ✂️💈

Clipped with Liveryman Harmony Plus as she doesn't like the louder, corded clippers. She was much more relaxed this time and even let me tidy her face 🙌

Lines not perfect but she's comfortable and had another positive experience which is the main aim 🎉

Yesterday was certainly a chilly one 🥶

A few photos showing gorgeous George 🧡 and super Sparks 🖤

Syd & Jenkins, two of my regulars, both had hunter clips but no photos taken as I was too busy drinking tea to warm up 😅

🐴Sonny🐴

Sonny had his third clip of the season today. This time we did a blanket clip and half face 🧡

He was super relaxed and even stood without his headcollar for his face to be clipped. It's so important for youngsters to have a positive and relaxing experience 🥰

Super pleased with his lines as this is the one clip that's taken me a while to get the hang of!

Today was lovely Lucky's second clip of the season ✂️

She's a model client, never moves a muscle and as you can see she falls asleep on the job 🥰

Lucky had a hunter clip, hog and half a face 🐴
