GROOMING HORSES
When clipping large animals, care should be taken as some animals may be nervous around the noise and vibration of the clipper.
BEFORE YOU CUT
1) Make sure clipper is clean and in perfect working condition. towel dry. Then comb and brush the longer mane and tail.
CUTTING HAIR
1) Start with the front legs. Clipping with the grain (or lay) of the hair will give a slightly longer cut. The leg can be clipped while the hoof is on the ground
or with the leg in your hand. Clip the fetlocks, being careful around joints and projections. Proceed with all four legs.
2) Clip the hair around the muzzle, chin and ears. All the hair on the outside of the ears can be clipped, but avoid clipping the hair on the inside. Be care-
ful, also, when clipping the hair on the edges of the ears; do not hold the clipper with the blades pointing toward the edges, but parallel to the edges.
3) If you wish to shorten the hair on the mane and tail, hold the hair between your index and middle fingers with the amount of hair you wish to cut pro-
truding above your fingers. Then cut that hair off with a parallel stroke across fingers.
4) To thin the hair on the tail and mane, hold your clipper upside down with the blades pointed in toward the hair. Then, starting at the top of the hair and
lightly stroking downward in a combing-like manner, remove just a little hair at a time.
5) Hair on the body of the horse can either be cut or left longer for weather protection and additional padding. Remember when clipping, that less hair is
removed when cutting with the grain; more hair is removed when cutting against the grain of the hair.
6) When you are finished, clean the clipper and oil the blades before packing it away.
