Clipping - nightmare!

[Mel85]

I have had a clipping nightmare this morning!

Thought I'd be really efficient and make the most of a quiet morning and clip my mare. All started well - until as I started on the other side...the clippers packed up! Poor pony didn't look too clever with one side totally clipped out and the other with a few stripes!! I managed to borrow my friends clippers, but they were at her yard...8 miles away! So 16 mile round trip to pick them up...finished clipping Hen then 16 mile round trip to drop the clippers back! What was supposed to take about an hour ended up taking nearly 3 hours!!! Aghhh!!!

And now have hair up my nose, in my ears and in my eyes!!

But Hen looks beautiful so I guess it's all worth it! Rant over!!

I thought that at the time as I've clipped 7 horses this week with the same clippers! Thank god they packed up with my horse and not any of my clients!
