How long does it take you to clip?

[Gingey]

As title. Please say what clip you're doing too, no point making me feel jealous about it only taking you 15 mins to clip.. if you're actually doing a bib clip on a minature shetland

Just wanting to check whether I'm ridiculously slow or not

 

[juliette]

I leave legs on, saddle patch on, and half face on.

Takes me just over an hour.

 

[kezimac]

full clip takes me less time than one with lines! I am a perfectionist though!

about an hour ish

 

[kerilli]

hunter clip, about an hour as long as horse stands still. if i have to faff around doing the delicate bits and then going back to easy bits to keep the horse happy, a bit longer.
if i'm doing a blanket clip, about 10 mins longer to get the lines exactly right.
if the blades aren't really sharp it takes a bit longer too!

 

[Gingey]

Ah. Think I need to speed up a bit

Luckily my horse is a good boy and happy to stand with a haynet for as long as necessary...hours....days...weeks
He is not keen on having area around back legs/tail done though, take my time over that bit so he doesn't get worried, so that's my excuse

I can do a full clip, hog, feather the lot off our cob in no time. With my bad back the bib clip on the mini shetland would take a couple of days

 

[3Beasties]

I re-clipped a very well behaved 14.2HH NF in about 45 mins, hunter clip.

 

[Alphamare]

Tracer clip, full clip (with legs left on) and blanket clips all take me about an hour.

 

[KVH]

Much longer than it should do!!!

 

[BobbyMondeo]

It will take me about 2-3 hours to do a full clip on my horse.

He is really ticklish so i have to take my time and also i have small clippers and the blade is about half the width of a normal as he doesnt like the loud big clippers

 

[yeeharider]

full clip yesterday all off 45 mins clips with lines take longer better to go all off!!!!

To do the all neck off and a trace line down the belly it takes 20minutes but then takes about 10 minutes to do the face.
To do a hunter clip (legs, face and saddle patch left on) it took me about 30- 45 minutes.
My clippers are amazing though, no matter what angle you cut at , they dont leave lines!

 

[whizzer]

Full clip prob about an hour, horse good to clip but I do faff about alot! Anything with lines takes prob about the same due to faffing with lines!

 

[supercowpony]

I would say full clip from 1.5hrs to 2.5 hrs, depending how much of my cobs feather has grown back! He's also antsy about having his legs done and his belly.

I did a blanket clip in about an hour, or an hour and 15 mins over xmas, but was again faffing with lines for a bit.

Markie has everything off, except his legs. First of the year took around an hour but the following 3 (he grows hair for fun!) have taken about 40 minutes. He is very, very good, doesn't move a muscle, even with my ancient Liveryman's that sound like an angle grinder!

45 minutes for a full clip - that's how long it takes for the Sedalin to wear off...!

45 minutes for a full clip - that's how long it takes for the Sedalin to wear off...!

sedalin who uses sedalin have the horse clipped before the sedalin takes effect usually without the horse noticing

 

[Foxhunter49]

A lot depends on how clean the horses are, the type of clip and how good they are.

On average, about an hour for Hunter clip, 45 mins for a trace or blanket clip.

Lines do not bother me, I have done so many I just do it by an experienced eye.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

I clip hundreds (literally) of horses every year and all of them are full clips - legs and half head left on thats all. My record for a 16hh fresh clip on a quiet horse is 28mins 39seconds. Usually it takes me about 45-50mins to do a full clip on the racehorses. Sometimes longer if the horse is an erse, sometimes less if it is a cat-hair re-clip.

It took me an hour and a half to clip my shetland - I had to go over it 3 times witht he clippers to get it all off! She had a proper big thick coat

 

[9tails]

2 evenings and half an hour during daylight to get the bits I missed. I own a fidgety idiot who gets the tricky bits done on the first evening then the easy bits the second evening.

Full clip with half head and legs left on.

 

[starryeyed]

Usually about an hour, depending on which horse i'm doing - one stands still, the other gets bored!
The hunter clip took about an hour as I was perfecting the lines, blanket one took longer as it was not only dark (!!) but horse was a figit. It did look fine the next day though!
