does anyone ride/own/keep horses?

just a shameless plug for some business

www.celticclipperservices.co.uk - blade sharpening (cheapest in UK, I'm now doing them for £3.50 per set), mobile horse clipping, clipper hire.

Here are a few pics of a cob I clipped today. Took me two hours to do a hybrid chaser/trace amazed I only used two sets of blades

well generally we clip them so they sweat less under a thick winter coat, and the amount of hair you take off depends on the horses workload.

I used to clip all the hair (apart from mane and tail) off my horses as they were worked hard daily with schooling/hunting/competitions etc, but this fella is only excercised on weekends so thats why he's only had half his hair clipped off.

something new everyday

ill let u off then

My misses has got horses, she's doing some degree about them. She also does clipping and she recons she can get her blades done cheaper..

lol fair enough but not alot of places will do em for less than £3.50 a set.

(doesnt cost me anythin to sharpen mine cos I got all the blade grinding kit at home )

u tell her jol

the mrs got a few of them horses things , not sure on the shaving of them tho !!

looks like danger in a can to me

i used to have horses when i was younger too much hassle now would love to ride again though my daughter really wants one my dad was going to get her one but said i had to look after it so i said no way i work too much havent got time. everyone seems to own horses in wales must be the in thing lol probably cause half of wales dont work and they have time
