I went out to teach one of my clients this morning only to find her really upset. She was upset about something else entirely and then she mentioned that she wasn't very happy with her horses clip. She had got someone out yesterday to clip her horse that advertises themselves as professionals in grooming and clipping etc. Now my client has only just got into horses so she doesn't value her own judgement but OMG! The horse had been given a trace clip.
1. The lines weren't even nearly straight
2. The lines weren't even on both sides
3. There were big chunks taken out of the lines
4. The horses head had been finished off very badly and she hadn't even attempted to clip under her chin.
5. She hadn't clipped in between the front legs
6. It looked like her blades must have been blunt or something because what had been clipped looked chewed and not clipped very closely!
Anyway, luckily I had my clippers in the car and spent an hour trying to sort it out. But once someones messed up some lines it's always difficult to correct it. I maybe would have understood if the horse wouldn't stand still or something. But she was an angel, and apparently was yesterday as well. I even clipped her head with my big clippers and she didn't care at all. The woman had also attempted to pull her mane, but it didn't look straight at all.
This person advertises in the local area. I just can't believe that someone would charge to leave a horse looking like that. I'm no perdantic perfectionist but honestly the horse looked a mess! I can't believe a professional would take such little pride in their work when repuation is everything.
My client did call her and give her a piece of her mind. The woman didn't say much, but then I don't think she could get a word in edgeways!
Honestly! Rant over.
