My hairy yaks!! 3 days, and 11 clippers blades later!

[Stinkbomb]

Its taken me three days, two visits to the tack shop, a visit to the vets and ELEVEN clipper blades later to clip these two hairy yaks!. They are now clipped, bathed,deloused and sprayed! Im shattered!

Anyway, they are in NOWAY show condition having been dragged out of the field where they have vegitated since August. Please ignore the state of Inky ( slight infestation of critters, fat belly, but hopefully sort soon! )

Can anyone beat this for hairyness!!!????

Inky..

Hopefully he'll look like this again after some serious hard work!

Ty....

No proper pics after their clips, couldnt be bothered id had enough, ill try and get some soon!!

Lol. Hairy little yaks indeed! And I thought two new (brand new) sets of blades to not-quite-do Little Cob was a lot lol.

Reminded me to get blades sharpened

You wanna come and practice on my little yak Stinkbomb? If you didn't clip Inky, how long would it take for the winter coat to be shed?

 

[jesterfaerie]

That is exactly how hairy my yak x overgrown goat pony is

I can not believe how different Inky looks like in winter compared to summer!

 

[Stinkbomb]

It probably wouldnt!! I dont usually clip Ty straight away but usually end up doing it around July as he gets too hot, but after finding the little critters on Inky i knew i had to get it all off!!

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

wow they were some HAIRY little ponies!

but Ink looks so beautiful now!!!

(but always does I think! )

I like hte half and half piccie too

good lord that was a lot of hair!

 

[jesterfaerie]

What clippers do you use Stinkbomb?

 

[janet68]

what beautiful colours they are under all that fluff

 

[Natch]

look at Inky's mane!

 

[Stinkbomb]

I use liverman harmony and the moser Avalon. great for summer clipping but not hairy Yak clipping!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Ah, I could do with clippers good for Yak clipping mine will need clipping this year.

 

[only_me]

Wow, now that IS hairy!

 

[MrsMozart]

I use Friend's Heingerman (sp!) clippers. They work brilliantly - don't get too warm, reasonably quiet and not too arm aching to hold. I'll be getting a set of their new multi-speed ones to cope with one very hairy (though not quite Yak proportions lol) cob and one scared-of-clippers DWB.

We do get through blades though when doing Little Cob! Which reminds me, blade sharpening needed

 

[Bowen4Horses]

wow! that reminds me, i need to clip Iggle... he's a hairy yak monster. and never really gets rid of his yak hair.

 

[JenHunt]

wow, that's an epic clipping marathon! I thought 2 pairs of new blades for one 13hh welshy was good going!

they're really smart little horses! lovely!

 

[Jericho]

I love your two - just goes to show what hides under those thick coats!

 

[ester]

11....!! but their surface area is so tiny

am loving inky's forelock though

 

[Achinghips]

What parasite infestation did he have?
