IT is that time of year again where horse owners will have to start getting ready for clipping season, the most dreaded job around the yard for many of us. While some owners opt to keep their horses clipped year round, the majority of owners will only clip their horses during the autumn and winter months.

Even though we are still enjoying the summer months, it is worthwhile getting yourself organised now. Ideally you would have had your blades sharpened and your clippers serviced after your last clip but if not, now if the time to dig them out and send them away to be serviced.
