Occasionally I’d “boot up” her socks to make her look like a show horse or shave shapes into her hindquarters like hearts and clovers.

Andis Dog Grooming Clipper Blades
One thing it works well for on a routine basis is muzzles. It will give your horse’s muzzle an ultra close cut. I just needed to be able to trim the bridle path on my Arabian mare, clip her muzzle and tidy up her fetlocks.

Andis UltraEdge Detachable Blade [#5/8 HT] - 5/8" #64930
Don’t worry though, it takes standard sized blades as well. In this category of horse clippers, I’ll still review both corded and cordless since I know not everybody’s preference matches my own. These are the best clippers for horse legs, bridle paths, muzzles, and general clipping jobs. These are great, for example, if you need to do just a couple trace clips or blanket clips on the horses in your barn. These will do an excellent job of booting up most horses’ legs as well. Horse trimmers are never going to be able to body clip a horse.
Wahl Color Pro Cordless Rechargeable Clippers
It is helpful to use during clipping, especially if you are clipping a dirty horse. Blade wash will help clean the spaces in between the top and bottom blades. Just put a small amount in a shallow dish, turn your clippers on and submerge just the blades. You’ll see all kinds of gunk, dirt and debris come out.
Andis UltraEdge Detachable Blade [#3/4 HT] - 3/4" #63980
A #7 blade is going to leave your horse’s coat a little longer than a #10. Some equestrians prefer this size blade for body clipping. When you are first learning how to body clip, having a little bit longer cut will give you more leeway towards blending as well. On Andis clippers, the T84 clipper blade is most often used for body clipping. It is a nice, wide blade that helps the clipping process go faster. If you aren’t going to be doing any body clipping, this is a great little clipper to have around.
If you had to choose one blade to have on hand I’d always recommend the #10 blade. Most clippers come with a #10 blade installed standard. I highly recommend you have at least one or two spares in addition. When one blade gets dull you can send it to be sharpened and still have your back-up. The hairier your horse’s coat, the harder it is for clippers to cut through it so you really want a body clipper built specifically for the job. Horse body clippers aren’t meant to do minor touch-ups.
If you have multiple horses you are going to be doing body clips on, you may want to make sure you have multiple cans on hand. OK so we’ve covered clippers and blades but this article wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t cover some must-have accessories. I’m going to list a variety of items here but remember, always check the manual on your brand of clippers to see what they recommend specifically.
Customers can rate how easy the repair was to complete and how long it took. We aggregate this data to provide a repair rating that allows customers to quickly determine the difficulty and time needed to perform their own repair. All our customer repair instructions are solicited directly from other customers just like you who have purchased and replaced this exact part. I really tried to cover everything in detail and give you the information you need to make a decision on which horse clipper might work best for you. Most clippers will come with a small amount of clipper oil.
Well, maybe you could over a couple of weeks, but it just wouldn’t be worth the time or effort. They are usually small and rechargeable or battery operated. There is no point in having a cord in this category of horse trimmer.
I’ve used Wahls trimmers in the past, corded and cordless ones (you’ll see them below) and really been happy with the quality. One of the things Wahl does differently than other horse clipper manufacturers is they have an adjustable blade. There are two clippers we found with positive reviews for this category. You just can’t beat their power and you don’t have to worry about having to stop in the middle of your clip job to recharge or swap batteries. Our customer service team are at the ready daily to answer your part and product questions. We have a dedicated staff with decades of collective experience in helping customers just like you purchase parts to repair their products.
Each type of horse clipper above is going to have a different type of blade specifically for its model. Each of the clippers above has detachable blades. As your clippers cut through the horse’s hair, the blades will become dull over time. Additionally, different size blades are used for different purposes. The horse clippers in this category could do a body clip. Pop a wide blade on them, use plenty of blade cooling products and take some breaks and you’ll be able to get it done.
I just think the versatility it has to be corded or cordless would be very useful. There are different types of clipping so we’ll address each separately and give our thoughts on the best clippers for each job. Great for body clipping, clipping legs, basic all-around blade. It is available in wide width for body clipping allowing you to get through the coat faster.
They are primarily used for trimming ears, bridle paths and muzzles. Writing a review on the best horse clippers isn’t as easy as you might think. If I had to choose just one out of all the clippers below it would probably be the Wahl Chromado .
Remember that, if well cared for, these clippers are an investment that will last a very long time. This content is edited and reviewed internally before being made public to customers. My horses either tolerated clipping or they didn’t and I moved on with my day. You see, I’ve always ridden primarily trail horses so it didn’t really matter either way.
I don’t think I’ve been to any barn with more than 10 horses and NOT found a pair of A5’s in the tack room. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other brands that are as good or even better but Oster has been making the A5 for a long time and it does a good job. OK I know what you are thinking, another Wahl clipper? Here we have a clipper being marketed for human hair but it will work just fine as a horse trimmer as well. Rechargeable, cordless and cost-effective, it is a great trimmer for those on a budget. For this type of horse trimmer, really, it is truly worth it not to buy a corded horse trimmer in this category.
