Just a quickie, after all the posts on how to deal with horses who dont like being clipped thoguht i'd ask the opposite! Does anybody elses horse love being clipped???

I did blade earlier this year and he loved it, and i mean really loved it to the point of getting rude with the clippers and whickering!! He's hogged and every time i get them out his eyes light up!! Must be the vibrations or something! I feel lucky given some of the problems others have, even if he does become a horny beast!!

Monty LOOOOOOOVES having his head done- the complete opposite to Oshk! Because he is a cob he has a really funny moustache which gets REALLY long, he tries to lick and eat my clippers, and he lols on one side and tries to doze off on them whilst I'm doing his cheeks!
 
Not clipping but mne loves having his mane pulled!! In fareness he's quite fine so instead of pulling I use one of those combs with a blade in it and cut the mane by pulling the blade on the ends (if that makes sense). He loves it, lowers his head and puts it on one side for me!!
 
its mad what some horses like isnt it!! the other thing blade likes is feet!!! he would never bite you anywhere else but if he can get a shoe or a foot you have to be careful!! not quite sure if he would bite or just lick but not taking the risk!!

Well, not so much the clipping, although I think he will enjoy it (I've only done him 3 times as he's a baby) but, talk about Weirdo and perv etc - he LOVES having his tail pulled!

He actually lifts it to one side for "easy access" and yes, he is a gelding!! Hmmm, should i be worried?!

Yes Lance loves it, if you are doing his ears he leans into the clippers.

We hogged him the other day and he fell asleep!

doesnt need headcollar on etc to be clipped either.
