no would say there all right as they're trimmers not clippers says so in the bloggy bit about what they are

They are trimmers not clippers, they may do the job though depending on how thick your horses coat is.

So i cant do a trace clip with these?

 

[Tifferss]

Hes a great wooly BEASTY lol

they are abit like human hair clippers, i did my horse with babyliss clippers before and he looked like hed been done with veet!!

 

[Tifferss]

sp whats the difference between clippers and trimmers?

 

[3Beasties]

Clippers are for clipping, trimmers are smaller and not as powerful so are usually used for the face, legs and any other fiddly bits.

 

[Tifferss]

do you think they would be good enough for a low trace clip pn a hairy cob?

 

[3Beasties]

I'm not sure if they would get through a thick coat, could be worth a try though

I doubt very much you'd get a clip out of trimmers - you'd be better paying someone the £40 to come and use large clippers.
Trimmers (even if they would get through thick hair) would probably heat up very quickly and you'd have to keep turning them off to cool - it would take a-g-e-s!

Thanks all

Don't waste your money on these. They will not do a clip of any kind on a horse/pony. They would be alright to trim whiskers & possibly keeping light feathers off but they don't have the power to do a clip. These type of clippers may be able to trim a dog, but even then they will struggle if the dog has a long coat.
