✨PSA✨
Dirty/wet horse = surcharge or refusal to clip.
Please make sure your horse is as clean as possible for clipping, and they must be bone dry!
If you want a show quality clip, they you should present a show clean horse 🐴 🛁 🦄
‘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.
