how much for clipping?

[lizzieuk1]

HI all,
i am offering a clipping service and wonder if you can give me opinions on pricing.
I am thinking £25 for blanket or full clip and £20 for high trace, £15 for belly. Does that sound reasonable/too cheap/too expensive?
would love your advice/suggestions.
thankies

I dont know about wether its the right price or not but I would think a full clip ie the legs aswell, should be more than a blanket!!

 

[lizzieuk1]

was thinking full as in no legs just body and head, the thing is blankets are more tricky because of the lines whereas full clip you just whizz it all off!

Last year I think I was charged £15 for a mini blanket clip.
Head and half neck, belly, but ending by the flank, not round the quarters - sort of racehorse clip I suppose.

that sounds like a trace clip so would think £15 sounds about right.
thanks for your info

I'd consider quoting on a horse by horse basis - thickness of coat, size of horse and how good they are to clip should be factored in.

The other week i was charged 40 quid for a high chaser. and a pony at my yard was charged 40 for a blanket aswell

blimey, am i under charging with those prices then?
think charging for size of horse etc is worth thinking about aswell.
thanks

I am charged £30 for full clip (leaving legs on and half face)

A friend got her horse clipped on the weekend by someone they charged her £50 for a full clip (only half face and left legs) i was SHOCKED!!

I'm on the Berks/Wilts border & pay £35 for a hunter clip. The man does a brilliant job & is the only person I know who can clip my 16.2 ID, what's more the horse is dealt with so sympathetically that he gets better every time& I can now do a neck & belly myself if I need to!

I paid £20 for a chaser, thats including travel expenses.
