Step 1
Go online to find a company that sells horse supplies. Type horse supplies into a search engine. Also, check in with your feed suppliers to see if they sell clippers.
-
Step 2
Look for a battery operated cordless clipper that runs cooler. Those that run at around 3,000 strokes per minute will produce less blade heat.
-
Step 3
Make the work easier for yourself by buying a clipper that's lightweight. Some are made with an ergonomically correct design for comfortable use.
-
Step 4
Find out how long the batteries will last. Some horse clippers come with a battery that has a life of 60 minutes.
-
Step 5
Make sure the clipper comes with everything you need, like a blade guard, charging unit, oil and cleaning brush.
-
Step 6
Consider buying factory refurbished horse clippers. This is a good way to save some money.
-
Step 7
Look into hand clippers. They are non-motorized and can be operated using one hand. They are perfect for clipping and trimming a horse's mane and fetlocks. Hand clippers can run as little as $10.
