Red Pony Clipping 2.0

01/15/2025

So most of yall know that my business of body clipping is part time. It is Supplemental income to support my own horse hobby.

I work a full time job Monday- Friday in the insurance industry as a property adjuster. It's a great career and a job that, ive been told, I don't completely suck at.

15 years now... and always evolving. My current area of specialty is complex property claims including large losses and storm claims. Well with that being said, I want to talk about California.

Due to the terrible fires in California I have been tasked with assisting my California customers with total burn claims, on top of my normal workload.

Not the end of the world but as you can imagine, helping someone who just lost everything is very time consuming. My evenings and weekends the next few weeks will be very limited on availability.

So with that said, until further notice I will not be able to accept new clients. I will let you know when things go back to a bit of normalcy but I sincerely appreciate yalls understanding. Let's keep praying for California. If you are an existing client and wish to schedule please message me directly.

Now I definitely don't play favorites.... but Polly Pockets show clip from before the holidays is looking super sharp. I am convinced a fresh body clip looks it's best about 2 weeks after the service. So if you think it looks good when I finish and set the clippers down... just wait a couple weeks to see it really pop!

This last weekend was bay mare palooza! Tiffany, Vada and Tessa all on the books! January and February are typically slower months but not for hair growth. This is prime winter coat season.

With winter series coming up in February let's be sure to get your show pony cleaned up in time!

It's that time of year again. Who wore it best in 2024! Drop a heart on the photo that you think is the best clip of 2024!

Fun fact. Currently one if the most popular heavy duty cordless clippers in the US is the heiniger xplorer....

Well this is nothing new to me. I bought one of the very last xplorers available when ANDIS made them. Andis sold the design to Heiniger who is making big bucks now on these clippers. Heiniger has even improved the design by coming out with the Xplorer Pro which is a two speed version. IN FACT. if you check out Andis website you will see that Andis doesn't even make a heavy duty body clipper anymore. They still offer a wonderful line of mid to light duty equine and dog clippers but nothing heavy duty for livestock anymore.

I take a lot of pride in my equipment and I meticulously clean and service it as needed to ensure it works at peak performance foe your appointment, regardless of its age. These clippers pictured are 4 years old but perform like they did on day 1.

Got to play with the big gun today. If you saw me get these out in your barn, your horse is either super hairy like a yak.... or is massive and has a ton of real estate to cover.

I'll admit that I don't love these for show clips because I tend to have to touch up lines but these were built for speed and efficiency and power through why big job

Wiggle worms don't bother me. Tiffany with her tidy show clip is ready for the UDJC show next weekend!

🌟 Thank You for an Amazing 2024! 🌟

As we wrap up this incredible year, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of my clients for their support, patience, and trust in Red Pony Clipping. This year brought some unexpected challenges, but also so many highlights that made it unforgettable!

✨ 2024 Highlights:
🐴 I had the privilege of servicing 67 horses over the past 12 months with combined 76 services – no small feat considering I operate exclusively on Saturdays and Sundays and was out of operation in February and September of 2024
📅 My busiest months were April and November, and I’m so proud of the growth I’ve achieved.
🏆 Red Pony Clipping became a proud prize sponsor for the 2024 STEA Annual Banquet, which will be held on January 11, 2025!

Relocating to the Houston area was a big step for my business, but I’m thrilled to continue servicing my wonderful existing San Antonio clients while welcoming new ones in the Houston region.

💡 Looking Ahead to 2025:
I’m excited to expand my services to include:
✨ Show braiding
✨ Clipping lessons/clinics
✨ Show groom services

To my loyal clients: Thank you for sticking with me through all the changes this year. Your trust means everything to me.
To my new clients: Welcome! I’m so excited to help meet your equine needs and continue growing together in 2025.

Here’s to another incredible year of serving the equine community. 🎉 Wishing you and your horses a happy and healthy start to the New Year!

With gratitude,
Jessica Prior 🐴

When you visit family in Wellington and they make a comment on how they should have waited and let me clip their show horses while I'm here. (They had them all clipped already for the winter series which starts next week) 🥰 maybe I start bringing some of my gear with me on my Florida trips 🥳

12/29/2024

I'm back! Well almost. Spent a week on a cruise with the family and a couple days in wellington FL to visit some additional family. I'll be back Monday and back to clipping Tuesday!

Shoot me a message about January dates!!!

Ive got a couple San Antonio dates open as well for first week of Jamuary!
