my new horse was scared stiff of my clippers . so i bought some cordless quiet ones. and spending time with them and him he got use to them so i started to clip him and he let me do all his body . time for his head only a bridle line . not a chance in hell. so hes now left with a wooly head . so my view was to get the vet to sedate him and do it . then ask him to leave me some sedaline and at first bit by bit try and get him use to the clippers going further up around his chin. but when i am going to clip is give him a couple of notches to relax him . iv had a mixed responce to this such as when i give him the sedaline hel know somethings going to happen and hel fight it
hes had to be sedated to have his teeth done and when i bought him hed been shoed but never hot shoed because in ireland . a lot of farriers dont do it . but my farrier doesnt heat the shoes up to hot and bit by bit hes got use to it so its a scared thing and a trust thing with him hes not being naughty
