1. A good coat comes from the inside out! Feeding a premium quality feed oil such as Curragh Carron Oil or linseed oil a few weeks in advance will really make the job of clipping all the more satisfying when that shine comes through.
2. Regular, thorough grooming will also stimulate the hair follicles as well as remove excess dirt and dust.
3. If weather permits a good bath the day before will also assist in removing dead hair and dirt. Having a clean coat to start with will reduce the chances of ‘lines’ appearing.
4. Finding out how your horse will react to the clippers just being switched on and the machine moved across his body is a worthwhile exercise to do a few days out. This can be a form of desensitisation if done regularly, before you even start to clip.
5. Some horses may need a little help to stay relaxed during the process and a calming product such as TRM’s Good As Gold Paste given the day before and the day of clipping can just take the edge off a horse to allow for a more pleasurable experience all round.
