Equine Cushing’s disease is a progressive condition affecting the pituitary gland. One of the symptoms is the increase in growth of the coat which results in the horse not moulting as affectively and regularly. A Cushing’s coat tends grow very densely and sometimes with an additional curl to the hair, making horse clipping challenging.
The choice of horse clippers is vast, but the best horse clippers for horses with cushings are the ones with the more powerful motor and torque.
Horse clipper blades need to be chosen carefully, as selecting the correct grade of blade to cut through this type of hair can make the job much easier.

If cushings is at the early stages, or your horse naturally has very fine, soft hair, then a medium duty horse clipper should do the job. If the coat is particularly dense and thick we suggest the following heavy duty horse clippers for ease and efficiency.
