Looking to buy some quiet clippers- advice needed pls

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Hey, I'm new here and was looking for some advice.

I am looking to buy some clippers as have previously used YO's but have decided I may as well buy my own.

However I need them to be as quiet as poss as I have a Welsh Cob on full loan and he is very nervous. I usually sedate him to clip but would like to if possible be able to gradually desensitise him to clippers.

I have been looking at the Liveryman "Harmony" clippers but would like to know if they are:

a) quiet (it says they are) and with fairly low vibration
b) Durable enough to do a blanket or potentially full clip
3) Lightweight to hold/ easy to hold
4) Are there any others you would reccomend?

YO's clippers that I have hired previously are Osprey ones and they are very quiet but are also quite old and I havent seen them for sale any more.

Sorry for long first post!

Lister's Liberty clippers Brill

I got some, and the Libretto trimmers, for Christmas

Clipped my previously clipped only under sedation and then only a little bit clipped off DWB mare a few days ago. Did her loose in her stable. She was a star

The Liberty run off a battery pack, but I have the mains lead as well. Either way, they are quiet and low vibration . The size and vibration was important as my right hand has had too many years of being used and abused (extreme sports when I was younger lol).

i have those clipppers mine are for my welshie aswell she used to have to be sedated to be clipped and ive had her 5 years now and she just stands there and fall asleep.

They are quiet and dont vibrate too much. i always do a full clip with them and shes a fluffy welshie and they are fine.
they are pretty light the only thing i find is i alwayas catch the on/off switch when im using them and turn them off lol

id recommend them

Would they be powerful/ robust enough to do blanket clip on relatively hairy Welsh Cob?

Thanks!

If that's the Lister Liberty ones, then yes. I did a TBxID, a DWB, and Big Cob - went through all the coats beautifully . The cob had a good thick mane that needed hogging, and very fluffy legs.

First time I'd used the clippers and I was very impressed

Aesculap have a new clipper out which has ben well tested in the UK with nervous horses.

Although called dog clippers they are more than capable of clipping a horse and have interchangeable blade widths.

This is the battery version

I've got the Lister Liberty clippers aswell. They're brill, i've had mine for about 5 years and clip a lot of peoples horses with them, they've never let me down. I would never buy anything other than Listers in the future

Yes the livery harmony fit the bill and would easy manage a hairy cob I've had mine fir a number of year done alsorts of hairy horses and they are still going strong. Extremely quiet clippers.

I have the Liveryman Harmony clippers and they are great - I have a very hairy IDx and gets through her coat easily. She has been funny to clip in the past, but just goes to sleep when i do her with these, even her face and round her ears.
I have found the blades get hot though - I oil them every 10 min or so and have to sets so change over regularly to ensure they don't get too hot and upset her.

Agree, lister liberty clippers are great

Also no leads that can scare some horses.
