Ugh, silly horse wouldn't be clipped!

Mother didn't have the best of mornings today - Blu was due to be clipped by one of the women at the yard (who is very experianced and well known around here).
Anway, we knew that Blu would have to be sedated as she is very wary of the noise of the clippers. So she had her sedaline and it made no difference - it made her sleepy, but she would just wake up as soon as the clippers came on!

Tryed a twitch on her and she just went completly against it, so that was taken off.

She now has an elephant shaped clipped area on her shoulder and the vet is coming out on monday hopefully, to give her a proper sedative

Could you not postpone the clipping for another week or so and work on desentisizing her to the clippers instead?

what sort of twitch was it and where did you use it? The humane ones are useless!
