Tips for Proper Shearing
If you’re going to clip your horse yourself, we recommend that you keep the following points in mind:
- The day before shearing, try to have your horse do plenty of work; however, do not have it work on the day of shearing, since you won’t be able to cut through a sweaty coat.
- Before clipping, brush the horse’s body thoroughly; keep in mind that if the coat is clean, it will be much easier to clip.
- Always test the clippers before you start (the area under the neck is a good spot). The clippers will work properly as long as the blades glide through the hair, cutting easily without any need to apply force.
- If you notice that the clipper isn’t cutting smoothly, stop immediately: blades that get caught can injure the horse.
- Always clip against the grain.
- Work your way down the animal’s body from front to back. Try to cover the shorn area with a blanket (preferably made of jute, since freshly cut hair can get caught in wool blankets).
- Cut in parallel strips.
- Always keep the blades flat. This is very important, since if you tilt the blades too far toward the horse’s skin, you can cause a severe cut.
- If you encounter a thick layer of hair, go over it two or even three times, gradually cutting deeper.
- If you notice the horse showing signs of fatigue, let it rest and take the opportunity to rest yourself as well.
- Especially when shearing the inner thighs, be careful that the horse does not move, as you could cause a serious injury. If you realize it is about to move, try to stop it by holding its tail.
- Keep in mind that the animal’s most sensitive areas are: the head, the lower abdomen, and the inner sides of the legs. It is essential that you trim these areas with the clippers’ blades while they are cold.
- For hard-to-reach areas (hair on the throat, between the front pasterns, and between the legs), stretch the skin over the underlying bone or flesh with your free hand; this will make it easier for the clipper to reach those areas.
- When you finish clipping, brush the horse again and put a blanket over it.
- Clean the clipper thoroughly and always store it with the blades removed.
