clipper happy!!

I know you've all done clipping for years etc - but I'm a new mum on the block and have had a wonderful hairy day today...sorry if this is boring to you old hands out there!
Had a pony sedated and wanted a full clip so I sed "I'll do it" as YO could'nt be botherecd to turn up!?! - really enjoyed myself - you seem to go into a trance don't you?!
Well that was it then - looked over at my boy and thought - Why not? So attempted to do a trace clip on him and if I had even turned the clippers on next to him last year he would have bolted - this year he looked at me - I smiled at him (grimaced and sed yes u r!) and gently got cracking. He was ace!! - apart from the poll area - but am thinking of riding him in a wooly hat to cover this? Sad post I know but when the

horse I loved last year - did'nt love or trust me

- to letting me actually do a small clip this year - well I'm dead made up.
