Types of Clipping Blades for Horses

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Mara Keith-Hunter for Expert Village. Today I would be talking about how to clip a horse. So there are many different sizes of clipping blades and it is important to know the size that you need before you start clipping. If you look on the actual blade there is a number, this is a size 10. 10 is probably the most useful most average size. We are going to use this for his ears, his bridle path, and his legs. As you get into the higher numbers, this is a size 40 blade and size 40 is really only used on the muzzle where you can really get a close shave. Some people really use it on other parts maybe their ears, you have to be very confident that you are good at clipping. Because this is close to a surgical cut. They do make higher sizes like 50 actually is surgical. That is the size that you use if you had a veterinarian clinic before they do a surgery that is less commonly used. "
