T daaaaaaa, clip and new rug pics

[Pedantic]

I am now itchy and covered in fur, but pleased with my handiwork, might take it up another inch in a week or two on his neck, will then get the two tone effect

will see how sweaty he gets, not left the new rug on as it's too warm so only anti rub vest and short neck lightweight

.

That's a seriously straight line!

Nice job.

Now to spends weeks getting rid of all the short, spiky hair from places you didn't know it could get!

 

[Rudey]

Did you use a spirit level lol

nice clip, and love the rug! xx

 

[Ranyhyn]

Well it is pedantic

nice hoss x

Found a bloody brill way to get a straight line.

Rub chalk on brooom handle along it's length, gently place handle against horses neck or side straight and level and pull it slightly sideways, it leaves a lovely line to follow, then stand handle upright against horses shoulder and place finger or thumb at height of line on handle, go around other side of horse and mark horse, this gets you the same height both sides, follow around horse and hey presto level line that joins up at back and front.

how would that work with a grey tho? ( sorry just wondering - going to do my first clip this week! )

will lipstick work?

 

[Rudey]

Grey - use charcoal!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

digitalangel - use coloured chalk!!

Nice clip and rug looks good too - wonder how good it will look when he has a layer of mud on it!!

 

[digitalangel]

That is a tidy clip, I must do my girl soon, just havent had the chance yet, hope my line is a smart as that, although I am only doing an apron clip so a short line, fingers crossed!

Dont think lipstick would look good on a horse, a gelding might look a bit gay, would need a big tube of it as horses have big lips

can just imagine a large Grey gelding with bright pink lipstick, oooooooo give us a kiss gorgeous

 

[digitalangel]

my gelding is pretty homosexual anyway - so it might suit him! but thanks, youve given me a good laugh tonight and i really needed it!

 

[lauraandjack]

Spare a thought for my chestnut gelding who tonight is sporting a lovely pink and purple checked rug! He did not look impressed (but it was cheap!)

 

[Pedantic]

Bless him, as long as he is warm and comfy

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Very neat indeed

Heard you had a mass clipping session today

 

[janet68]

Hi Pedantic is your horse chomping on his lead rope on second pic?

 

[Pedantic]

No, neither is his willey out either

, it's the chair leg behind, it's just the angle I took the picture and it's with my phone not my decent camera so not best qaulity.

Yea Coffe-Bean, there was a lot of Clipping going off on our yard yesterday, lots of clipping and no clopping riding

 

[rachyhorsiehib]

Yay Dad, he looks ace! You are top 'clipper' now eh!!
Now about putting lipsick on grey horses.....I wonder what Jolls would think of that.

Schooling with Mags at 14.00 if you're about?
