✂️ Clipper Season Is Here – Time to Tame Those Winter Coats!
Ah, clipper season, that magical time of year when the fields are frosty, the horses are fluffy, and every yard across Britain hums with the sound of buzzing blades and muffled neighs of protest. 🐴
Here at The Country Set, we know clipping season is both a mission and a milestone. Whether you’ve got a hunter with a winter coat worthy of a Highland cow, or a pony who looks like it’s hiding a sheep under its rug, we’ve got everything you need to make this year’s clipper season smooth, stress-free, and maybe even (dare we say it)… enjoyable.
💚 Why Clipping Matters
Clipping isn’t just about keeping your horse looking smart for winter - though we all love a tidy turnout. It’s a key part of keeping your horse comfortable and healthy during the colder months.
A good clip helps to:
✅ Prevent overheating during exercise
✅ Make grooming quicker and easier
✅ Reduce drying time after riding
✅ Keep skin cleaner under rugs
In short, less time battling sweat and fluff, more time for that all-important post-ride hot chocolate in the tack room ☕ (priorities!).

🐴 Pro Tips from The Country Set Team
We’ve all been there - the horse is fidgeting, the extension lead is just too short, and you’re wearing more hair than your horse by the end.
A few lessons we’ve learned along the way:
✨ Always have a spare set of blades ready (because mid-clip dull blades = heartbreak).
✨ Keep plenty of clipper oil on hand or in your pocket! - friction is not your friend.
✨ Recruit a brave friend to help hold the horse, preferably one who owes you a favour.
✨ And above all: wear old clothes. Seriously. You’ll be finding horse hair in places you didn’t know existed for days. Better yet, treat yourself to our clippers best friend
