I have always had a friend to clip Olive in the past or paid to have it done but this time as I am on a new yard and I want to be able to call in favours for more important things I thought 'right - my own pair of clipers it is'. So I bought some Lister Stars at the recommendation of a few (Cinnamon Toast/Jhoward thank you) and proceeded to conduct my first ever clip..........
TWO DAYS LATER I still have a horse with fluff under her belly as she tries to kick me while under there, 3/4 of a face left on but with some nice tufts taken out as that was all she would let me do and a horrid chunk out of her crest as she threw her head up while I was attempting to neaten out the line up her neck.
I had gone for an extended chaser kind of look but now we have some kind of hideous half clipped monster and I wish I had just paid someone to do it . To be fair she was patient for the first hour and a half and then I gave up. Tried to do more today and she just isn't having it. She has, in the past, fallen asleep while beng clipped. It's just me, she pisses me about
So - a tube of calmer perhaps? Help.
