Horse Clipping and Trimming by Beverley

21/11/2023

Just a reminder that your horse MUST be clean & dry for your appointment. I will not clip a wet horse. If your horse is too dirty I will either charge an extra £10 blade resharpening cost or refuse to clip your horse.
If I am unable to clip your horse or have to adapt the clip for any reason, the full cost of the service booked will still be charged.

Pretty lady Apache wasn’t my biggest fan last year for her first clip but settled in really well. The difference this year was huge, she was so much more relaxed, still very unsure of her head and was quite handy with a front leg😬….She is so much like her mum when it comes to clipping🤣 A really sweet girl though, it’s so nice to see her more confident with her clip this year. Her owner was more than happy to leave her head on and not stress her out, maybe next year she will allow me to trim that beard properly. 🥰

Back to reality after a fab weekend!🤣

Beautiful girl Aria with her Hunter clip, we also clipped down the back of her legs to take away the feathers but leave some protection against the mud. She’s only 6 and behaved impeccably whilst Storm Debi was giving it her all!!

Clipping has been absolutely manic recently and I am way behind with posts! Here’s a few of my lovely horsey friends…
Basil with his high blanket clip, he is a little nervous of the clippers but the sweetest boy and settled in really well with his clip. 🥰
Bailey looking amazing and all really for stars with his Covercote clip, this old guy loves to glare at me throughout his clip and it’s quite clear what he thinks of being disturbed in the morning🤣🥰
Leo who couldn’t possibly stop eating long enough for his after pic🤣
Darcy with her Hunter clip and stars on her bum, didn’t quite manage her face but she was a sweetheart for the rest of her clip.🥰
Tucker with his Hunter clip and lighting bolt…I am told he lives up to his design🤣
The lovely Bess, blanket clip, legs and star design. Annoyed so much with the flies, she is a total sweetheart 🥰
Pearl, another who couldn’t possibly stop eating for me to take the pic. Those blended legs were a challenge being so hairy. She also let me get closer to her head than ever, mum had been doing some work with her and it absolutely paid off. 🥰 love her❤️
Last but not least, ‘Whoops a Daisy’ (what a name!). Me and Daisy haven’t always seen eye to eye but she absolutely loves her aunty Bev now (well, I think she does!)🤣

06/11/2023

Cute little guy Sheldon had his first covercote clip all ready for stars. He was a little nervous but mum had been doing some preparation with the clippers so he handled the clip amazingly. Good luck Sheldon (great name!)🥰

05/11/2023

Old gentleman Pretzel had my favourite fancy Blanket clip this morning. He really is the sweetest boy to clip, even when his sister Freckles was having a tantrum next door due to Pretzel getting so much attention 🤣🥰 always a pleasure ❤️

05/11/2023

This girl deserves her own post. The beautiful Winnie. Her first clip at 5 and she absolutely smashed it! Full face and snowflake too. A really sweet girl, mum has taken time to show her the clippers previous to me coming and it really paid off. Can I also mention the solarium that kept me toasty warm throughout the clip🤣 ☀️

I am I firm believer in the term ‘take it at their pace’ when it comes to first time clips. Some horses manage amazingly and some need a more gentle approach. Chip was quite unsure of the clippers but managed brilliantly until it came to his ticklish belly. He let me know in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t happy with the clippers in that area. We had planned on a full clip but compromised with a high Irish
I don’t like to push first clips past the point of tolerance, it only ends in either someone getting hurt or the horse remembering a bad experience, meaning that their journey into clipping was a bad one. A first clip should never be a bad experience.
Chip is the sweetest boy and tried so hard for me today, we left on a very good note. Exactly how it should be. Just love this sweet boy. 🥰

01/11/2023

A few of the recent clips (I am still so behind with posts!) first is Patsy who was a gem to clip once we decided that she was most comfortable in her stable.
Honey the little cutie had a covercote clip who was an absolute dream.
My fave mini cob Tilly who lives her aunty Bev and demands her treat the moment I am finished 🤣
Max sporting his blanket clip, let’s all agree how stunning this boy is!
Plumb had a Hunter clip, this old boy was an absolute dream to work with.
Ella, another old lady who again was an absolute gem for me.
Clipping days, can’t beat them!

26/10/2023

What a lovely day clipping! All horses extremely well prepared, clean and perfectly behaved! A couple could not cope with their faces being clipped which owners knew about and let me know before starting. If Carlsberg made perfect days then this is definitely it! 🥰
Ruby with her Covercote clip and blended legs, love her cheekiness!❤️
Old lady Sugar looking 19 years younger after her Hunter clip. Such a sweet girl. 🤗
Ted had a Hunter clip and managed amazing with his face at just 5, super handsome boy. 🥰
Vee towering over me at 17hh+ was an absolute angel to clip, despite the Pesky flies bugging her the whole time. 😍
Last was Sky, another huge boy who was just brilliant. Again, despite the flies bugging him the whole time 🥰
Days like today make me love my job even more than I already do!❤️❤️

25/10/2023

As always this time of year, I am extremely booked up. Please make sure you book your clipping appointments as soon as possible as my first dates are now mid November. Not many weekends left before Christmas, I will try and squeeze you all in where I can. 🥰

25/10/2023

Banned from doing too many posts so here are some of the gorgeous horses I have the pleasure of clipping.
First Alan’s before and after (best name ever!), he liked to keep us on our toes with his fury at the flies bugging him. He looks amazing as always!
Then one eye’d Murphy (I always get his hood side🤣). Absolutely love this sweet, old, gentleman. Always a pleasure to visit.
Bella with her Irish clip, think her face says it all about how she feels, being kept in all day for a clip!🤣🥰
Maisie with her full clip and heart bum, she was also fuming at the amount of flies and was way too angry to pose for a photo! 🤣❤️
Last but not least, Barney. We tried something a little different this time. He usually has some serious sleepy juice, but his mum wanted to try something a little more gentle for this clip. He absolutely smashed it, sporting my favourite clip too! He’s another golden oldie who looks amazing!🥰❤️😍
Best job ever, getting to play with ponies all day.

24/10/2023

Effie sporting my favourite, fancy pants clip and Ketchup (best name ever!) with a gorgeous traditional blanket. Both way too sweet to clip, plenty of treats afterwards for these two lovelies! ❤️

24/10/2023

Had the pleasure of these two beauties today. First is Bobby who had an Irish clip, checking out all my pockets in case I had hidden treats🤣
Then lovely Melissa (what a fab name!) who was an absolute saint for me, she’s not overly keen on having her beard trimmed but with a little time and persuasion she allowed me to make her look more like a lady!🤣🥰 What a pleasure to meet 2 such lovely horses ❤️

24/10/2023

Little Bib clip for cutie Oscar this morning. Think I found a new friend🥰

23/10/2023

Little Bez aka Beryl! First time clipping and she was an absolute saint. We took it easy and just did an Irish so that her first clipping experience was a good one, couldn’t resist a cheeky star though🤣 ⭐️ What an amazing little girl.

23/10/2023

Here’s the cutie behind the heart design, the lovely Una! She’s off to stars to strut her stuff and show off her artwork!🥰 Designs like this would t be possible without my trusty Wahl Adelar Pro trimmers. Amazingly for detail work.

23/10/2023

It’s been a design kind of day! Socks sporting her star and lightening strikes as she is a speedy one. Just love a chestnut colour change🥰

23/10/2023

How cute is this heart design? Just love trying new ideas. 😍❤️

How many can relate to this?🤣

Just love this beautiful old lady ‘Blues’. She is the sweetest girl, she is really sensitive around her face and this time I managed to get really close, she was an absolute superstar! Wasn’t so keen on posing for the photo, she’s looking amazing for such an old lady! 🥰

16/10/2023

The best before and after pic, how to loose weight in a couple of hours!! The gorgeous Casper had a Hunter clip with blended legs, face and mane. Being a Dales, trimming the beard is a no,no so we blended his beard and face. What a transformation! He and his mum are off to Stars in November…Good luck Casper and Andrea.🥰

15/10/2023

Steve looking mega with his first clip with me. He is a little unsure near his head so we took the clip further from his ears to ease him in gently and give him time to get used to being clipped. This boy is super sweet and just needs a little persuasion that everything is ok, just love him and his cheeky personality. He’s a very handsome young boy, just love him!

15/10/2023

Look at the shine on Del Boy, his mum didn’t think he was so clean but I beg to differ, the clippers sliced through his fluffy coat. The clip not so easy to see on his dark coat but he had my favourite clip complete with a bum ❤️. Such a cheeky gentleman.

Payment can be made by cash, card or bank transfer. Appointments MUST be paid either prior to, or at the time of clipping. If you cannot pay via bank transfer at the time, then please make sure you have your card/cash available during the clipping appointment. Whilst it has previously been a very rare occasion I have to chase payments, this is becoming more often when bank transfers are concerned. I completely understand how easy it is to forget to after the appointment, this will eliminate genuine mistakes and me having to remember who has and hasn’t sent money over for their clip. 🐴

08/10/2023

So a little something happened! I will be demonstrating creative clipping for alongside the amazing at this years . I will be sharing some of my tips and tricks for creative designs and I am way too excited! 😬 🙌 😍🐴

08/10/2023

Cute boy Sultan with his Irish clip. What a stunning and super cheeky boy he is. Super tickly last time I tried to get a straight line but this year absolutely smashed his clip and kept his tickle factor to the minimum. Just love seeing horses be more comfortable with their clip.

08/10/2023

I have not particularly been Peaches’ favourite person over the last couple of years! From a super nervous first clip to trying a little sleepy juice to help her relax. We overcame her letting me clip her legs (although not today due to them being too wet). This time she has allowed me to clip half her face which I didn’t think she would ever manage and all without any sedation at all. What an absolute superstar, just goes to show that if you don’t push too hard and take things at their speed then the trust you gain is absolutely priceless! Just love this gorgeous girl.🥰

06/10/2023

Gorgeous Kali, all of with a saddle patch, at just 5 this girl was an absolute Gem to clip. Clipped using the Lister Lithium on a fine blade.

06/10/2023

Splash sporting her Hunter clip with blended legs. She is an absolute star to clip and all ready for North West Champs. Good luck Jennifer.
All done using Lister Eclipse cordless clippers on a medium blade and Wahl Adelar pro for that perfect blend.

05/10/2023

Buttercup has to be the best name ever for a horse!! This girl was a little unsure at first but absolutely smashed her clip! Such a cutie and completely suits her name.
