Someone asked me last week how many machines do I have

The answer is 8 🤣 it was more until my first set of Liveryman black beauties gave up on me (to be fair they had a tough life) and I binned a set of trimmers I never used

It’s funny because you might think that’s more than enough, but I would like to have a few more sets as you can never have too many back up machines

That’s why it’s not cheap for me to clip your horse, given the investment, experience and upkeep of my business!

Your other equine professionals are in a similar boat, whether it’s your farrier, physio, vet, instructor, livery yard owner - we all have huge overheads in order to deliver a quality service for you. So next time you see their prices go up - don’t resort to the cheapest person on the market, as you’ll probably have to get the good professional back again to fix the job! 💸💸

First Aid training is so important, especially for us in a sport that often can end up in a fall - serious or not.

Every horse person you know has at least one story to tell

That’s why keeping my CPD up to date is so important to me, so that I can provide a safe and up to date service to all my clients

I’d recommend the course to anyone who works around horses or even just rides - Alan is fantastic 🙏🏻
