You must be thrilled!!!! She is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Now tell me something please! I am a dog groomer and I own my own business. But I've NEVER body clipped a horse! I have my first mini and I can't wait to get rid of that coat. However we are burried in snow here.

Your clip job looks perfect! I see many that aren't. Can you tell me what your secret is and what kind of clippers you use? Thank you kindly!!!!

Congrats on that beauty of yours!!!!!!
 
You are a clipmeister!

The halter fits her very well at the moment too.
 
Confession time! I can't take the credit for Willow's haircut...sorry if I misled everyone. :DOH!

The breeders that we bought Bailey and Willow from clipped her out for me at their farm. I will let them know what a great job you guys think they did.

I am embarrassed to say that I did attempt to 'thin out' Willows coat and made a mess of it, that's why she has now been clipped out completely. i just wanted her to feel a little cooler and I made her look like a freak!

I only had human hair clippers which are NOT cut out for the job.

See, look for yourself.

I warned you, it's not pretty!

Anyway, as you know, she looks super special now.

Those pretty lavender flowers that she is next too are the real thing too! It's not a fake background.

I think Willow has forgiven me now.

This may make you feel better -- this is the first time I tried to clip a horse. Looking at the picture after all this time, it makes him look tremendously better than he really did. It was almost like he was wearing a checkered sweater with all the clip marks this way and that way (I didn't know how to clip). This is my first home made baby, Skipper, sporting a sock in his tail and a very bad haircut from his 2-legged mom. Clipping's not hard, but it just takes practice.

Oh thats fine Maplegum! Being a groomer I also get some dogs in that people try to groom themselves! It does take lots of practice and a good mentor! Not to mention the right equipment! Heck, I could make my mini look like a poodle! I could make the beautiful pooffs on the ankles and all! How about a cute french mustache?? LOL! Anyway, you have a beautiful girl!!!!

Now, can you find out what kind of clippers they used? Pretty please??

Thanks!!!

Hahaha, that would be kind of funny actually! Give it a go...but you would have to post photos of course!

Now, I believe the clippers were Double K's?? Does that sound right?

Jill, your first clip job was not as bad as mine, but still pretty funny!

Clipping can be very addictive once you get a few under your belt so don't worry about one bad job, hair is great...it grows back.
 
I cannot stop laughing at confession time! All that praise and then u post that........believe me, I am not laughing at you but with you

I can't wait to start clipping, I am going to warm up on the weanlings b4 I do the filly I am thinking about showing. Practice makes perfect, but I think it would be fair to yourself to get some different clippers.

BEAUTIFUL FILLY!

You should be showing this girl. I envy you the warm weather, we had snow again today, it's going to be about 4 months or so before I can even think about clipping my guys.
