Home / HOW TO MAINTAIN A SHINY COAT AFTER CLIPPING YOUR HORSE
Whether you’re preparing for a show or simply want your horse to look its best, here are some top tips to ensure a gleaming coat after your horse’s next clip:
Before you even turn on the clippers, make sure your horse’s coat is thoroughly cleaned. Remove all the dust, dirt, and grease to prevent the clippers from becoming blunt. Use a good quality shampoo, like the Wahl Dirty Beastie, and a gentle brush, working in circular motions to help lift the dirt from the coat.
It’s essential that your clipper blades are sharp and well-maintained. Dull blades can tug at the hair rather than cleanly cut it, leading to an uneven finish with lines across the coat. We also recommend that you use the correct blades for your horse’s coat type. Check out our blade guide for more information on what blade you should be using for your horse.
When applying any oil, start sparingly. You can always add more, but over-application can make the coat greasy.
In conclusion, a shiny coat post-clipping can be achieved using a combination of detailed pre-clip preparation, proper clipping techniques, and post-clip care.
