clipping services

[Rachntabby]

what do you all think about these prices?
£60 full clip
£40-50 hunter clip not sure about price
£35 blanket clip
£35 trace clip

just wondering as im gonna have mrs clipped this winter (with the help of sedalin) and gonna have a high race or possibly a hunter clip
but not sure whether to buy some quiet clippers and do her second clip myself?

Is this what you are thinking of charging or what you are going to be charged? I think they are a bit steep tbh......

 

[Rachntabby]

thats what is being charged! i thought so too
after callout etc from vet gonna cost a bloody fortune

 

[Maisy]

do you need a call out? I would think that your vet will let you have a tube of sedalin or some ACP without a callout.

At that price I would buy a set of clippers if you are confident enough to do it yourself! I did!! My mare is fully clipped 3/4 times a winter, and she used to have her legs out too.....I bought some clippers and am getting better!!!

if you have your own clippers,people will want you to clip for them and you will make your money back and more in no time.

i have the lister liberty ones and find they are very capable.

 

[Rachntabby]

not too sure if they would will ring up though and see
thats what i thought as i have clipped before and would have an expert with me anyway to hold her
just need some quiet second hand clippers now

I've just been told that a chaser clip will be about £20 and similar for a trace. So they do seem expensive.

I think they are v. expensive!! I charge £25 for a blanket, £35 for hunter & £45 for full clip. Anything less than that is £20.

Would definitely recommend buying your own
