"Hi, I'm Mara Keith-Hunter for Expert Village. Today I would be talking about how to clip a horse. We are going to continue clipping now on his other ear and once again I would turn the clippers on while I'm down here. We are going to work on getting a even closer shave. We are going to start by closing his ear, getting the outline. Now if you want to, if you are going to be showing, you would probably need to do this. You are going to get all the way to the inside of his ear. You can kind of make his ear flare out so you can get all those hairs really close right down to his skin. Once again we are staying on the outline that is really important. You can kind of work down the back a little bit and get that outline just the way that you want it. Then you can work up to let these big tusk of hair are taking out. Once again you would get the bottom hair, we are just going to open up his ear right quick and really work in there. "
