Traditional clipping season runs from September to March, however it is now popular to clip all year round.

Each horse is an individual and should be be treat like one.

HorseFit UK has been a proud Brand Ambassador for Liveryman Clippers since 2020. All clipping and trimming is skillfully carried out using their machines.

Clipping can really benefit horse’s health conditions like:

• Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Cushings.

• Chronic Progressive Lymphedema (CPL)

• Mallenders and Sallanders.

• Sweet-itch.

• Weight management.

General reasons why to clip:

• Too hot/sweating whilst worked or just in the stable.

• After exercise, the coat dries quicker for owner convenience (Less time waiting around before you’re able to rug up.).

• Reduces the chance of the horse getting a chill, which may lead to more serious conditions like colic.

• Weight management… To lose excess or maintain condition.

Things to consider before clipping:

• Workload.

• Environment (24/7 turnout, stabled at night, etc).

• Age.

• Discipline.

• Health conditions.

• Breed/Type.

• Weight/condition.
