How to Buy Horse Clippers

Horse clippers are an essential part of grooming your animal. They make quick work out of what can be a tedious chore. Manufacturers are focusing on making clippers that are more comfortable for you and the animal to use. Follow these steps to buy horse clippers.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

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.
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.
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.
4. Find out how long the batteries will last. Some horse clippers come with a battery that has a life of 60 minutes.
5. Make sure the clipper comes with everything you need, like a blade guard, charging unit, oil and cleaning brush.
6. Consider buying factory refurbished horse clippers. This is a good way to save some money.
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.

Tips & Warnings

• Inquire about a factory warranty before buying. They range from 90 days to two years.
• Buy replacement blades right away, so you don't find yourself without one when needed.
