Clipper hire

[Laafet]

Am having a bit of nightmare getting Mr T clipped. No one I know has any clippers and the girl from work that is amazing at clipping said she would do it but I have no clippers. Wondered if anyone hires clippers. I don't really want to get just anyone into clip as it's Mr T's first time and he is a bit 'special'. Any suggestions?

can you not just pay someone to do it,l am sure they would be gentle!

Well I would, but don't just want anyone to do it, I've been in this area a year but as I haven't been out and about much competing have no idea who to trust, just have had horror stories from the people that I have asked for recommendations. Always borrowed a friends in the past and done it myself with Murphy but Hampshire and Oxfordshire are a long way from Norfolk.

has your friend not got any clippers??

No, she clips for the place we work at and there is no way we could borrow those ones. I've asked but they are worried about picking up diseases from my horse, despite the fact that they are ones that always have ringworm (another reason not to use them)!

Depends where you are in Norfolk, but there used to be some saddlery shops that would hire them out, worth calling a few and asking. Where are you near?

Between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds, have yet to find a decent tack shop here, Newmarket isn't that great. Am missing Tower Farm and Townfields!
