Hi all,
I have a older EMS horse, who throws a thick coat and is shedding it slowly. His summer coat is coming but he's itchy and rubbing himself so I'm seriously considering a late clip (he's got an Irish clip from the winter) to make him comfy. But I'd like to take the weight/length out of his coat but ideally not clip as close as normal, if that's possible? On my small Wahl clippers (trimmers really) I have clip on comb guides which would let me do this - but can I get these anywhere to fit my big Lister Liveryman clippers? They take a A2 blades. Or is there a type of blade that lets me clip to a longer hair length?
I can see various comb sets, but haven't found anything for equine clippers/A2?
Or am worrying unduly about his summer coat and should just clip? I know it will grow back!
All advice and pointers gratefully accepted!
