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
📍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*
