How much would you pay for a blanket clip?

Hi, someone on my livery yard is going to give my 15.3hh Thoroughbred a blanket clip this weekend. She doesn't clip horses for a living or anything like that she just happens to own a set of clipper and will do it for me so I'm wondering how much to pay her. She said it will probably take her arounf 45 minutes but obviously doesn't have any travel costs as is already going to be at the yard. Thanks!

i paied £15 per hour when my horse was clipped, though only took 1/2 hour so was £7.50!!

A girl on my yard did Bob's clip. I was going to pay her £20 but her mum said £15 was enough, she seemed happy with that.

It would normally be around £25 inluding travel so maybe £20?

I paid 20 for a blanket clip last month, took about an hour

I'll be paying around £30 next Tuesday.

You have to bear in mind the cost of oil and blade sharpening as well as time. I would say £25 was fair

To give you an idea I provide a clipping service and charge £25 for a blanket clip including my travel.

I would normally pay 30 as well

I pay 25 for blanket, 30 for hunter (including travel).

I pay £35! Blanket & hunter are the same. I thought that was quite good value, but looking expensive now!

I paid £15 for a full clip that took an hour and half the other week. However we're a close yard and we're all friends. I think £20-25 sounds right for a blanket clip.

I pay nothing but if I was paying I would pay around £25
If it's the first clip of the year then getting all the lines straight and equal can be frustrating and time consuming so for that I think £15 is rather low.

i used to pay 25 which works out expencive by the end of the year so brought my own!!

 

[FunkyFilly28]

Would you agree with £25 for a first clip and then £20 after, as the lines will already be done? Thanks for all your replies by the way - you are such a helpful bunch!

 

[monkeybum13]

sounds a fair price, defo easier the second clip!!

 

[blackcob]

I usually pay £25-30 for a blanket clip including travel to the yard.

 

[millyspaniel]

I paid £20 for a low trace clip

£20-25

I paid £30 last week for a blanket clip, but it was so expertly done I thought it was a real bargain, at least compared to what I get charged at the hairdressers per square inch.
