Shaving My Horse For The First Time Ever!

[@cindyshaw7364]

A tip for clipping: doing longer and slower strokes will reduce some of those nasty clipper lines! Overall a nice clip job

[@emmagabler2999]

Plus it’s more satisfying 😂

[@BluePeace2]

Yes! Long strokes!!

[@marisabarnfield7684]

Something about you calling the clippers a razor and clipping shaving erks me to my soul😂 it’s like the word ‘moist’ for some people...🤢

[@spiderman933]

🤣🤣same

[@ellacole9067]

He’s gotta be razor shaved because he gets too moist! Hope that sentence was inclusive for all..hopefully nobody feels left out and everyone found a word that made them bock 🤢....or at least bristle 😖 By the way- Gabby you did a very good job! You will mess a lot of horses manes, tails and coats up along the way...just own it! Say you meant to do it that way and make a new name up 😄! I mess minimum 3 clips/cuts up a year.....I am, by what others would view, a pro in equine turnout and show prep....and I still after 20 years manage to give some poor horse or pony some awful, wonky hairstyle. Ask to practice on others horses (not in competition lol) as the more you do it, the better you get....same goes for braiding, practice all year and you’ll be able to run a production line pumping out perfectly braided manes one after the other in no time. You can get paid good 💵 for that to, I was charging £30 per mane and £40 including tail at your age! I would be doing between 3-6 a show including my own...it adds up! Xxx

My horse is getting an Irish clip soon. Love clipping designs. You should put a cool logo or symbol you like on him or storm ⛈

[@tatianashaheen26]

Great job. Make sure to go long strokes not short strokes and not too deep cutting or too much lines will show. Shaving can be really fun and stressful sometimes BC no one wants to mess up.

[@Hannah-pb9ci]

It turned out so good!!!! Chino looks amazing,

[@allegra9171]

It looks satisfying to watch but in reality it takes a long time

[@dancing.with.adagio]

I gave Adagio an Irish clip late fall, and once the snow flew I gave him a full clip. Now I'm fixing to give him a second full clip, and I'll probably clip once more the end of January before his summer coat starts to come thru!

[@coreeventing6681]

He looks great! Can't wait for your clinic with him! ❤️ Still waiting hoping and praying you'll do a Brandan lesson with Storm!! That'd be soooo awesome to see, I think he can help bring Storm into himself 😁💞

Love you guys, your the best! Hope you have to best day and Christmas!! I also have a horse named Storm he is 17 years old and he is 14.3 hands tall. He is very short but I am not tall lol the best luck and wishes to you and your horses!!

Hi gabby we love you, you did such a good job love all your horses you are such a good rider

[@lmcvideo27]

nice job gabby!! if you want EVEN less stripes it helps to do long even strokes:) but great job overall!!!!

[@kathrynmoran6491]

you did so good! he looks amazing and you have done a great job making it symmetrical. I clip my Shetland pony he loves it but when it tickles him he rears up and i get about 4 times the amount of hair than you got off chino. haha. you should be very proud of that for a first proper try on your own. Tip for next time, try to do longer strokes, it helps the lines blend in but you didnt have many lines anyway so great job. xx

[@theorangemonster2695]

I love the brand Wahl. It’s a really nice shaver for the horses. It’s good for shaving their whiskers and bridle path too

[@rhemyella]

It’s so weird to hear it called shaving! 😂 we call it clipping here in Australia!

[@emmagardiner2828]

I think that's what she ment hopefully coz its called clipping in Wales too

[@sophiescott1680]

I call it clipping as well in York and that

[@paradiseequestrian6195]

I the states it’s called clipping

[@SkipandVictoria]

It's called clipping in the US as well. I cringe when people call it "shaving."

[@AlliUSARider]

I call it clipping I'm in the us idk if it's main word in the us tho

[@joannmoeller5467]

You did way better at clipping chino than I did at clipping my first horse. When I clipped my horse he didn’t want to stand still so the lines of the clippers were really uneven so it literally looked like someone took a weed wacker and tried to cut his hair. Congratulations u did way better than me and I am proud of u

[@BluePeace2]

For the legs generally you stop clipping where the muscle bulges out 😊

[@elliehensey7691]

Yes don't a lot of the designs follow their muscle lines, I think gabby was referring to her picture a little too much instead of tailoring it to chino but it's only her second try I think she did great, but she has so much information in these comments she can learn from hopefully ^-^

[@ellacole9067]

It was her first go, you are too worried to follow any directions haha. I think Gabby done well. As for stopping at muscle.... yes as a clip can enhance and flatter the horse done in a certain way, but when doing a full clip including legs..everything goes. There is no ‘rule’ to clipping, cutting/pulling etc, many of us find what works and what looks good, that is normally individual to each person. Putting hard, very specific rules in just makes people nervous and they end up messing up and never wanting to try again.

[@pbr8727]

You should do all of the horses

[@nellafrosst6453]

Chino was so relaxed and well behaved.

[@sunset934]

Wow Gabby first try and turn out so good , I'm like what ....so shocked well done . Have to watch it again. Marry Christmas Gabby and Sophia joy your rest , girls work so hard.

[@sunset934]

I liked myself again it wonderful, but I happy.

[@iz_equestrian_yt6571]

After clipping it’s so important to give them a bath so they aren’t itchy and uncomfortable so make sure you do that !

[@bellabea_x]

Nah it’s not you don’t have too you can brush or let them in arena so they can roll

[@tiffanyarcher9038]

When clipping go against the hair. Also for the arm pit bit if you can get laura or sophie to stretch the front leg out to the front so that arm pit is tight it makes it easier to make sure that youve got all the hair in the arm pit

[@stephgraceee]

Good job Gabby that turned out really well for only your second ever time clipping! Chino will be much more comfortable when you ride now 😊

[@siimplyshxe5998]

When they smile like that it could mean they are sick, also i love your videos

[@AlliUSARider]

For the bridle path I'd recommend sharp scissors ✂️ it works for us very well

[@britneypoundes3849]

Just a tip for when you clip do long strokes of it. It means you won't get any clipper lines and after clipping get some hot water and a towel and wipe him all over will get rid of any hair and any clipper lines

[@melbowell5601]

Well done Gabby, the more confident you get you’ll feel able to do longer strokes, which is much better ( less lines ) and your clip outline will look better 😊👍 It does take confidence though to commit to doing long strokes to create your lines 😊 remember to oil regularly when using and also clean thoroughly after use, by taking blades off and oil, then they’re ready for next time and will last 👍 my first few clips were terrible 🤣

[@milliejones7647]

Yes! My pony gets a full body clip about every 2-3 weeks!

[@lilycarter2751]

"oh my gosh, it works" 😂

[@soleilequestrian8856]

I read you comment exactly when she said that😂

[@Moppel9014]

Well done Gabby, its great Chino knew what it was all about for you to do this for the first time! I wear overalls when doing mine. I watched a lot of people clip before I did my own!

If you do long lines not short lines when clipping it will help with the streak of lines

[@lucypruett8088]

Oh my gosh gabby you did so good!!

[@mywonderfullife3651]

Great job, try and do longer strokes while clipping, another tip is for getting super sharp lines turn your clippers round and press down on the coat with the clippers, you will get better with practice and time, I've clipped for many years year round

[@tamaraschilling4269]

So smart with the chalk! Lol

[@charlottecollins9503]

if clipping Chino doesn't solve your problem take rubbing alcohol and put it in a spray bottle that will help the sweat and you can just put him in his stall after.

It looks really good ❤️❤️

[@itzbambi2790]

Great job Gabby!!!Also Chinos eyes are soooooo cute

[@itsdarcie9401]

Looking good. Just wondering did you have clipper oil or WD40. It helps stop the blades doing blunt and makes them glide easier.

[@SparkleJiggs]

I clip 1 of my horses year round and 1if in hard work during winter. I’ve done a blanket clip, hunter clip aswell as full body.

@@sharontalaga5924 I got mine for pretty cheap compared to how expensive it was for my friends when they got their horses clipped. It was about $80 or something for a trace clip on my gelding but I know full body clips are like $100 but my friends paid $250 for their horses’ full body clip, so I definitely got a deal there😅 this is all in Canadian dollars btw

Haha I full body clip my horse every winter (minus the legs and face), if we don’t he looks like a sea monster after our lessons 😂 we also full body clip him in summer including the face and legs because he sweats so much lol

[@arabian1574]

I am impresses that you have put the effort in to clip chino yourself jnstead of paying someone to do it for you. Just some clips that I have for you is that when clipping you go against the hair so then you can get a clean clip and use long strokes Other than that his blanket clip looks really nice 👌

[@eliselyons7892]

Long lines is much easier, try and just go along the line with one big clip. it wilp save you time. practice makes better!

You should do an updated intro you have grown so much in your riding since this one was filmed! Plus a Chino❤️ And a little tip for next time is to not pick up the clippers so much because it leaves much cleaner lines. Over all an amazing job! A lot better than my first time clipping my horse 🤫🤣

[@sharontalaga5924]

Being a dog groomer....we always shave the way the hair grows. But we have also shaved the opposite direction (very rarely). Never having shaved a horse I thought you would shave the same way. TIP Gabby next time you clipper Chino make sure you use long strokes with your clippers, lessens the fixing up. Also if you are going to do his bridle path, make sure you use an even stoke , not choppy. This way his bridle path will be even. VERY GOOD JOB FOR YOUR FIRST TIME. JUST REMEMBER NEXT TIME LONG STROKES....DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE CLIPPERS. ALSO GABBY MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR BLADE THEY CAN GET HOT AND BURN SO YOU DON'T HURT HIM. PROUD OF YOU!! P.S. NO LAURA DO NOT TRY ON PENNY YET...OK. I DON'T FEEL SHE IS READY AT THIS PRESENT TIME.

[@theluckyequestrian]

Nope you shaved a horse in the opposite direction of the hair growth way it easier to get a tighter shave and it will keep the blades nice and sharp.
