A few clips done over the past couple weeks 🥰

POLITE REMINDER that if you have your horse is booked in to be clipped by me, please make sure your horse is clean and dry!

Either hot cloth a few days leading up to the day of the clip or bath the day before!

It helps with the overall finish of the clip & doesn’t strain on the blades making them blunt!

Please note if this isn’t taken into consideration I’ll be having to charge extra to get the blades re-sharpened. Thank you 😊

So true, so important to make sure your ponies are clean to clip! 🙈

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*

As we are approaching the colder weather we are going to say hello to our fury friends again 🥶

I have a feeling it’s going to be a busy winter due to the high demand of messages in my inbox already, so If you want you Horse or pony clipped, please message earlier rather than later 🙂

All clips vary in price depending on which clip 🙃

Joey’s change from August 2021 the day we got him as a 3yo vs the photo I took today as a 4yo 🥰
He just needed a little TLC, growing into a really lovely boy. Never really know the difference until you look back on the photos ❤️

Thank you to the The Horsebox Spa for coming and doing our horses! Joey defo feels much better after having his sheath cleaned, she even taught me how to do it! 🤣 He loved the massage pad and got him weighed. Fabulous service, thank you Carlie Guyett for organising it 🥰

A good 2 weeks doing some showing which is definitely not what I’m used to 🙈

Newtake Apache aka Tom came 1st and qualified for the championships in the inhand partbred M&M
And although spend most his time on his hind legs managed to place 6th in Home Produced 🤣

Donys Diamanté aka Lady coming 4th out of a big class in Purebred Ridden behaving so calmly ❤️

And last week Joey doing his first ever show coming 4th in Youngstock and 5th in Best Turnout, and he behaved like he’s done it a million times before 🥰

Big well done to Guyett who came 1st & 2nd inhand with Lady too 🥰💕

Two separate pullings!

Spiders mane was pulled after a dodgy scissor cut before a show, looks so much more natural and less choppy and thick! 🤩 safe to say I had a very happy client 😄

And for Casper, this boy has got such a lovely thick tail! 😍
Tail pulling ready for a show, this boy has the most thickest tail I’ve ever seen, he was not keen for me to pull it so much it was best for me to stop but looks so much better than what it did! 🙈
