Do you own WAHL Moser Avalon Horseline clippers?

Yes I have them.

The blades need to be ultra-sharp. You have to be prepared to go at their speed but you can get a decent job done. I can do a full clip on a 16.3 on one battery charge but it is a slow process. They are very quiet and good for nervous horses, they also don't seem to run hot. You would not want to try to do several full clips in a row, although I have done two chaser clips one after another.
 
oh.... mixed feedback there.

I want to use them to trim a cobs legs. The hair is really corse but is always short so will never be taking more than a few mm off. I liked the idea of the 80watt motor. The lister star ones I use on her body are 45watt. and the wahl pro that i currently use on her legs are 13watt motor and they really struggle.

OK for fine coated animals like TB's etc...

*sniggers*

Having got my first set of clippers ever, aged fort*mumble mumble* I gave my chestnut Section D a hunter clip, apart from his name written in 18" high letters all along one side.

My daughter's rather well-respected instructor nearly spat when she saw it! Luckily daughter had graduated onto the bigger Welsh by then.
 
No one on our yard has them or I would! lol Hence Im relying on the knowledge from peeps on here! Our saddlry has lister star and harmony clippers on offer so everyone has them! lol or liverymans.
 
They are nowhere near as good at getting through cob hair as standard clippers IME. I bought a pair to use with my coarse coated, clipperphobic old cob and they did struggle, it was slow work and he ended up looking distinctly buttered - they don't clip very close to the skin. My current horse has a much fluffier winter coat and they are fine on her :)
 
I have the Liveryman Harmony battery powered set and they are great - a lovely close clip on very very hairy legs (think shire on speed!) and only took about 20/30 mins.
Ive had the WAHL trimmers before and really wasnt impressed with them, but Ive never used the Avalon clippers, so cant comment on them Im afraid x
 
I have them too and they are on about thier 5th winter. I have done full clips and part clips and cobs legs no probs. they are not mega quick but very good and quiete and good battery life. Also no leads trailing everywhere. also use for clipping the dog too.
 
Hi, I have had these for a couple of winters and they'll manage a blanket clip on my woolly mammoth fine. The battery is good as I don't have electric at my field and it's never run out on me.
 
Useless on anything other than very fine TB/show pony types. I would never buy another set of wahl trimmers, blade quality is horrendus.
 
I've used mine to full clip my horse every winter and had no problems. I also used them on a Shetland who refused to shed his winter coat and he got a bit sweaty and matted under his tummy and they clipped brilliantly. As mentioned they aren't as big as other clippers so it can take time but I love them. Only issue I've had us getting replacement blades as the place I got them from are clueless! Got my last set off the internet
 
Ended up using mine as trimmers as couldn't cope with Connies coat. Great clippers to handle etc but probably suited to fine coats .
 
I have a pair and use them on a mixture of Natives (Connemara, Welsh and Shetlands) and they have coped really well! Very quiet and easy to handle.
 
Why do you want cordless, is it because your horse is a nervous to be clipped or because you don't have electricity at the stables?

The huge advantage of the WAHL is that they are incredibly quiet and relatively low vibration, so really good for nervous horses. If you just don't have electricity there may be stronger clippers on the market.

If you speak to a good clipper shop (I used Peasridge, you can google them) they will give very good advice.

Cordless will never have the same power as corded.

(PS, I love mine, but do use some corded clippers for the quieter horses as they are definitely quicker & more powerful).
 
I love mine - had them for 7 odd years now, horse grows a coat like a new forest pony and they cope fine. I do use fine blades rather than the ones they come with, mainly because I like a closer clip because I hate clipping and would rather do it less often!! I do maybe 4-6 clips a year and get all my blades sharpened once a year. Works well for me...
