Definitely worth the bath for your horses sake
Always wash the horse π§Όπ§Ό
Our DMs have been full of βDo I HAVE to wash my horse?β
The answer is always YES- your clippers, blades and horse will thank you π
A good wash with shampoo and plenty of scrubbing is a must pre clip
It ensures
π Less pressure on your machine
π Longer lasting blades
π Comfortable for the horse
There is no substitute for a good bath so avoid any dry shampoos or pre clip oils. These may react with your horse or cause your blades to heat or blunt.
IF you have no wash facilities as a last resort a good groom (that should take over and hour and leave you sweating) will work and hot clothing with warm water in the week run up to clipping. Ensure the horse is rugged and dry if you dont have stabling facilities.
