Hi Lydia
I found costs spiralling, fed up with people being impatient clipping, etc, etc, wanted to do it myself and so ended up buying some heavy duty cordless trimmers from Peasridge, with a spare set of blades. Having discussed with Peasridge, these are fine for what I need them for and cost around £120 inc spare blade. I do a bib type clip on a pony (large) 2 to 3 times a year, but if you need to do a full clip, you would need the full monty clipper wise. If you are looking longer term, you will recover your costs, but of course it is the initial outlay, AND learning to do it yourself!
Good luck.
K

As well as all the costs listed there is also a risk of the clippers being broken. The cost of replacement clippers has to be absorbed in the price of the clip. As well as repairs and annual servicing. I would hate to be without my clippers but if I just had one horse I think it would be easier to pay someone else to do it.

Well my best mate does mine and she says £10 will do just fine, I always give her £20 tho cos she does a fab job and its using her time, blunting her clippers and its only fair really. If i was to pay someone i wasnt particularly friends with I would expect £30 -£40 for a decent full clip.
