1 down ... 200+ to go ...

It's not even October yet and I had to clip one of the racehorses today as the vet was in so I could get it sedated.

Blah.

Not a happy bunny! Even just 1 measly day counts when you are faced with a wall of itchy hair for the next 4-5 months!

Poor you-roll on spring 😃

 

[Lolita]

I don't envy you, nothing worse than itchy horse hair.

 

[PorkChop]

Wow, I am so not jealous, hope you have some good overalls

 

[EventingMum]

We've had to clip quite a few already, very strange to be clipping before some of them are even in at night

La la la la - I can't hear you , I did NOT hear the word 'clipping', la la la la la.......;-)

 

[meandmyself]

I hope you have a shower at the yard, at least. Overalls and a dust mask is the way to go!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Nope, no shower at the yard - just a bulk buy of baby wipes! I have plastic waterproof trews and jacket, 2 baseball caps, a large supply of dust masks and a pair of goggles! I learnt many years ago that hair balls in the throat are no fun!

At the moment there is only 1 other that needs done, the rest have held their coats really really well. I suspect I will have a few more to do in a fortnight or so though.

The poor girl who does the clipping at the yard I work at wears disposable decorators all in one overalls with hoods. She looks refocus oust but they do the job!

Horse hair in your bra. Not fun.

I remember this discussion on another forum awhile ago - a full body wet suit was propsed as a good idea. Still looking for someone to try it.

Ridiculous!!! Weird auto correct

I'm not adverse to looking like a fud! I might try it!

Clip them while they're still wet from their bath. (No damp half dry, wet!)

Hair peels off in ribbons, you are hair free.

As long as it's nice and clean wet hair you're good to go!

I have done this many many times, we show our dairy cows and I clip my own horse and a few others.

But if you clip dry please post pics of your awesome anti-hair everywhere suit

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

I generally don't get a choice when/what I clip! I just get handed a hairy horse lol!

*off to look on amazon for a wet suit*
