Red Pony Clipping 2.0

03/23/2025

Apparently March is Mini Month. 4 glow ups in Cordillera Ranch today.

Bam Bam, Snuggles, Bubbles and Freckles. (Not in that order)

And one very inquisitive pig

My mini clips are a flat rate of $125. They include a brush out and thinning of the mane and tail.

Breaking News: I Have Found the Holy Grail of Clipping Pants!

Leggings? Comfy, yes. But also a one-way ticket to looking like a yeti after just one horse. Seriously, I could sneak into a Bigfoot documentary by noon.

Jeans? Stiff, hot, and somehow still manage to collect horse hair like it’s their life’s purpose.

But these hiking pants I found on Amazon? GAME. CHANGER. Breathable, hair-resistant, and actually comfortable. Honestly, they need to rebrand these bad boys for pet groomers and equine clippers everywhere. 10/10, would marry them if I could.

Photo is yesterday after clipping 3 horses 🐎

The holy trinity of my business. Did you know these OGs have been enjoying RPC services since I very first began clipping professionally... One of my first wave of clients from 2019!

Skye, Dandy and King are all in their early/mid 20s and they are very loved, all 3 recieved their spring full body clips today to help them shed off the excess winter hair and prep for summer.

I see them usually 2x a year and these senior saddlebreds are living a blessed retired life in Cordillera Ranch.

If you're curious WHY I still travel to see my SA clients even though I have moved? This is why. My tenured clients are like family to me.

🌸 Spring Shedding Season is Here! 🌸

April showers bring May flowers… and a whole lot of shedding horses! 🐴✂️ April & May are historically my busiest months—not just for clipping, but for life in general!

Due to personal obligations, my weekend availability in April will be limited, so I’m making an unprecedented move and opening a few weekday spots!

🚨 Important Update: After April, I will be discontinuing my monthly San Antonio/Austin trips. However, I will still take requests for 3+ horses—smaller bookings will require a trip charge. This also applies for any requests coming out of the Dallas/Fort Worth Area.

📅 Remaining Openings:
Saturday, April 5 - TWO OPENINGS
Sunday, April 6 - TWO OPENINGS
🕒 Friday, April 18th – BOOKED
🕒 Sunday, April 27th - TWO OPENINGS
🕒 Saturday, April 26th – TWO OPENINGS
🚫 April 20th – Easter (No Appointments Available)

🆕 Peak Season Policy: All new clients booking in April & May must place a $50 non-refundable deposit, which will be applied to the final invoice.

Spots are filling fast! If your horse needs a fresh spring clip, DM me to book before they’re gone! 🏇✨

Sweet Petey was perfection for his first RPC clip today. Talk about getting to work on a real life unicorn!

Grays are tricky to clip because of their dark skin undertone. To ensure the best show clip he sure to schedule your appointment no less than a week before any upcoming shows.

Welcome to the RPC family Petey!

That's a wrap at the UDJC show. We came for the miles and to get this greenie out amongst the people. He was wonderful and took everything in stride. Schooled on the flat Friday and schooled over fences yesterday. He went in 2 small classes today and was a Rockstar.

It was not judged since my trainer rode him in some very beginner friendly classes, but he won gold in my eyes.

Back to clipping next weekend!

No clipping this weekend while my young hunter prospect struts his stuff and gets some miles atthe UDJC show! So grateful for a wonderful trainer who really has a niche with the young horses 🐎

Preach 💯 Centerline Equine Clipping

This is a friendly reminder that I will not clip horses who have not been properly prepped. (Sorry if what I’m about to say sounds abrupt at all but, this has to be discussed.)

A clip can only look as nice as the horse is ✨clean✨.

🗣️This means:
🔹A proper bath, with shampoo, scrubbing down to their skin, within 24 hours prior to the appointment time & fully dried by the start of the appointment time.
🔹No riding between bath & clip.
🔹No turnout between bath & clip.
*If your horse does not have access to a stall & must be turned out, they need to at least be fully dried before going outside. Putting a fly sheet on would be a bonus but not required.

❌ If I am presented with a dirty, dusty, urine/manure stained horse, I will not clip the horse and will have to return when the horse can be thoroughly cleaned. Returning will be subject to my availability and could be a few weeks out.

💡I also know very well when a horse hasn’t been bathed. Previously, I have made exceptions and figured out how to work around it but moving forward— no bath, no clip.

“Why all these rules?”
“I’ve never had to bathe my horse before a clip.”
“He was hosed off this morning.”
“He had a bath yesterday but was ridden this morning.”

🚨Clipping a dirty horse WILL:
🔺Ruin my expensive equipment that I will have to replace, in order to stay in business.
🔺Take double the time to finish the clip.
🔺Not feel very nice on your horse (blades will tug on hair and skin.)
🔺Not look very nice.

🫧 Unlike the dog grooming world, I as the professional, rely on my clients to prep their own horse’s coats for me before their haircuts. (I’m sure dog groomers would NEVER). As much as I’d love to, it is just not realistic for me to bathe & prep every horse I see.

🙏🏻 So please, for the love of all things horses— if you run into a jam and couldn’t get your horse bathed prior to their clip appointment, please just let me know and I’ll be happy to reschedule. When I show up and run my hands over a horse and my hand turns black or pat them down and see dust flying up— no, they did not get a bath and therefore no, I cannot clip them.

🧚‍♂️ • ✌🏻🩷🐴
