I had always thought that the investment was too much for a herd of three (if you can call that a herd!), and with only clipping Mingus in spring...I thought I could make do with our StablePro clippers.
Then my one set of sharp blades went dull after just a head and neck clip, and Liz (Nootka) let us use her Double Ks. She warned us that the blades were dull after clipping three horses for the first spring cut, and also told us about Lark ripping out the cord...
...nonetheless, they still clipped SO MUCH better than the StablePros, even with a fresh, new blade. I knew how much simpler they would make my life, but didn't think Keith would ever go for it. Yet when he saw how great they worked and tried them out himself, HE suggested that we needed to save up for a pair of Double Ks...at least a used pair. So, I'd say the jury is in.
Rob...once we're past our "hospital poverty," we'll be in touch...!
