Going rates for clipping

[RuthnMeg]

As title says... What is the going amount of ££££ that people pay for others to clip their horses??

 

[RunToEarth]

Around £40 for a full clip.

 

[BFG]

Yep £40 is about right

 

[Sarah Sum1]

I remember when it was £15 for a full clip

 

[RuthnMeg]

I'd be cheap then if I charged £20 for a full clip but a well mannered horse??!!!

ruthnmeg, have you done your costings? blade sharpening? extension cable and breaker, oil, pat testing of said clippers, liability insurance, time travelling to and from, all the hairy clothes. you will also need several sets of blades and at least one spare pair of clipers in case one set breaks, annual service of clippers? and the time involved to actually clip said beastie?
