Clipping problems

[Gem13]

Hi,my Shire X has always been fine to clip her legs-a little twitchy with off fore but fine elsewhere. Last time I clipped her legs she was very fussy with both fronts but I eventually got there. Today I couldn't get near any leg. She pulls right back against the rope,paws the ground with the leg in trying to clip then kicks forward with her back leg. I was able to do her mane no prob but had to give up with her legs.
She has been having blocks etc in he'd legs but was sedated for the last set and I've clipped since.
I'm always careful clipping and make sure the blades dont get too hot. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want hairy legs!!!

Your probably safer and more efficient to use some sedative gel from your Vets such as Sedalin or Domesedan. The latter is now available in a gel form and its the same as whats used to sedate by needle. A fellow livery has this problem with his horse's legs, tried the Domesdan and the job was done in no time.

Could she have mites in there the clipping may be aggravating her if there's mites in there.
Also try getting somebody to hold up one of her legs for you.
