We were recently asked if it is possible to clip a Shetland pony with a Liveryman Classic or a Liveryman Element horse trimmer.  You will certainly hear of others who have used trimmers to clip a pony, and the Liveryman Classic is a nice little trimmer – it’s inexpensive, easy to hold, nice and quiet and has been popular for years.  However, the old saying “a trimmer is for trimming and a clipper is for clipping” does usually hold true.  It will take a long time to clip a pony with a trimmer and the hair could clog it up.  If you are looking for a light weight clipper/trimmer, you might get away with a Lister Libretto Max, but it would be safer to go for a medium duty clipper like the Lister Star  or the Liveryman Harmony Plus.

If you have any questions about what horse trimmer or clipper might work for you or your animal, please give us a call.  We can discuss your needs, consider your hand size, your horse’s temperament, your intended usage and your budget and we can find the clipper or trimmer that is best for you and your horse.  We carry Lister, Liveryman and Heiniger products and take pride in helping customers to select the horse clipper that will most effective for them.
