When I started clipping today in the barn alley I left the door to the paddock with the mares open. Our little colt followed the first mare in so I left him to watch thinking he will get used to the noise and not be afraid. This worked well as he stayed right under foot till he got bored.
While clipping mare #2 with the door still open "Nibbles" walked in. She is 4 and has been clipped a few times with no problems. Nibbles decides I'm not doing good enough apprently and moves in close, than really close. She puts her chin on my hand holding the clippers. After moving her away about 3 times I decided to trim a little on her. Trimmed her face neck and shoulders with no halter no lead just her standing there> She loves the vibration from the clippers especially on her head. The only time she moved was when I put lube on the clippers and didn't get back to her quick enough (she moved closer).
Wish they all liked being clipped that much>
