im looking into buying a pair of clippers before october so that in the long run i can save some money getting my two clipped the only problem is that they would have to be cordless and as low vibrating as possible as my youngest boy taz now 6 takes about 3 or 4 people to clip him at the begining then goes down to the person clipping him and the person twitching him

does any one know a decent set of clippers that fit my description i dont mind about the price as taz gets clipped 4 times over the winter so it costs about £20 a time and the pony about the same but only £10 each way
 
A good pair of cordless clippers will be expensive & I expect, giving the prices you are being charged for clipping at the moment, it will be 3-4 years before you will recover your outlay, possibly longer allowing for sharpening.

With what you are being charged I wouldn't bother buying any, the wear & tear, sharpening & the time saved is worth more than you are being charged......just my opinion

i have lister liberty clippers and although they aren't that quiet, they are brilliant. Most horses seem to like them more than the ones that buzz quietly.

It's almost like they are noisy enough to let the horses know exactly where they are and what they are, as opposed to the quiet ones trying to pretend they aren't there?

Does that make sense?

If you owned a set, could you then have the time to 'therapy' him in advance of clipping?
 
I also have the liberty lister ones and they are brilliant. They are quite light too so you don’t get arm ache.
 
I have Heiniger Progress clippers and although they are mains powered they work wonders on my horse. The vibrations are very low and they are extremely quiet. Last year I managed to give my mare a full clip including face completely on my own. In previous years she was either given an elephants load of sedation which she always fought, or it took me about a week to do a blanket clip taking a little bit off at a time before she flipped out.

My first time hunting she had a massive patch shaved off one side of her neck and looked ridiculous. However if you don't have a power supply then the Progress clippers would be useless!
 
Lister liberty with a spare set of blades, so you change change them when they get hot (if you're doing large horse). I find it's the heat from the blades more than the noise that can be the problem.

I got mine 2yrs ago for £300, but I saw them last winter for about £260, I was a little green, but still pleased to have bought them.
 
another vote for lister liberty clippers. i love my clippers and would highly recommend them. i have a gelding that needs sedated then twitched to clip and would not use cable clippers with him. also you can be the electric cable attachment so thet when the battery runs out you can change on to mains power

I'm going to get the Lister Liberty clippers. Lightweight, battery powered and fairly quiet.

Excellent choice
