Thoroughbreds tend to have less hairy coats than many of the other breeds of horses and ponies, but do still require clipping during winter months, particularly if competing or being ridden on a regular basis.
As their hair tends to be soft and fine, this makes horse clipping so much easier and quicker. Light Duty horse clippers are an ideal choice for a thoroughbred, as they are perfect for clipping lighter coats and finer hair. The blades that come with light duty horse clippers are the snap on variety. This enables the user to choose various grades of blades to suit the type of coat and clip.
Light duty horse clippers can be operated from a mains or battery power source. Most of the battery options are an integral part of the handpiece. This means the horse clipper is easy to hold and manage and ideal for clipping in any situation. Purchasing an extra battery and spare blades are always a good choice, giving continuous clipping.
The clipper battery can be re-charged in the cradle that comes with the clipper package. The blades require no tensioning, and snap onto the head of the clipper with ease.
