Louise is an experienced, professional clipper who will travel to you.
Types of Clips
The Trace Clip gets its name from the fact that it follows the line of the traces of a harness. This clip was
commonly used in carriage horses and is popular today in riding horses. The hair is removed from the
underside of the neck and belly. A trace clip can be high or low - the difference being how far up the horse's
flank that the hair is clipped. The hair is left on the head, the topside of the neck and body and also on the legs
for warmth and protection.
The Blanket Clip is more radical than the trace clip. The hair on the neck and flanks is removed, leaving a
blanket-shaped area of coat over the back and hind quarters which keeps the back and loins warmer in
extreme conditions. As with the trace clip, the hair is left on the legs, affording them protection from
underbrush when going across country.
The Hunter Clip leaves hair only on the legs and the topside of the face, for the same reasons as with the
blanket and trace clips. In addition, a patch of hair can be left in the saddle area. This clip is used on horses
which are in heavy work in wet and muddy conditions. It makes it much easier to get them clean and dry
quickly.
The Full Clip in which all the coat is removed. This is used a lot in horses which compete in the winter
months and would lose condition if they had to perform in all that thick winter hair. Also used a lot in show
horses for aesthetic purposes.

Prices above are just a guide and subject to change. Please Email for a exact quote on clipping,
As size of horse/pony and distance travelled may vary the price.
NOTE: Please ensure your horse/pony is well enough handled to be clipped. They need to be able to be
touched anywhere without getting upset and kicking out and stand patiently. Pay particular attention to
desensitising the head, legs and flanks. I am unable to supply sedation, so if needed you will have to arrange
through your vet.
