Best Cordless Horse Clippers For Nervous Horses

Fluffy coats, malting hair and sweaty horses means one thing… it’s clipping time! If your horse is ridden during the colder months, keeping them clipped will ensure they stay comfortable and reduce sweating when being worked.

But not all horses are big fans of being clipped, and many require calmers, sedation or twitching to help them stay relaxed and stand still while the clippers are out.

So, which horse clippers are the best for horses who may be nervous or stressy? In these scenarios, it’s always best to go for:

• Quiet horse clippers: more often than not it is the loud noise of the clipper’s motor which will make your horse nervous.
• Cordless horse clippers: if your horse is not likely to stand still, cordless clippers are a must. These will allow you to follow your horse if he moves, and prevent any accidents from getting tangled in cables.

Here’s our top picks for clippers for nervous horses:
