Clipping - what do you pay?

[jules9203]

As above really. I charge for clipping but have no idea whether I am pricing myself competitively or not as find it quite difficult to find out what going rate is. So if you were looking for someone to clip what would you expect to charge? I'm based in the South.

I think I paid £30 last year for a hunter clip, Midlands

I am local to you and recently paid £65 for a full clip, including head and legs

I've seen posts in my area saying £50 for a hunter, and less for smaller clips! I honestly paid £50 for a hunter clip when I got my first horse 25 years ago, so I was surprised that prices haven't gone up more!

I clip my own now, but my YM pays me £20 to do a full clip on her shetland.

£40 for a hunter clip but my YM does it so she's already on the yard and does it at her convenience

prices tend to be around £50 near me, north west.

I only clip my own now, but when I did clip for others I would charge £45 for a hunter. I charged silly money for a full as I really dislike doing faces and legs.

Blanket £35

Irish/Trace £25

Bib and belly £20

If there were multiple horses, I'd negotiate a little.
