Clippers & Accessories

Clipping your horse is not just a matter of appearance – it is an important part of care that affects both the horse's well-being and performance. With the right horse clipper and practical accessories, the work becomes easier, faster, and more comfortable for both horse and rider. Here we have gathered common questions and answers to help you find the right equipment.

Why do you clip a horse?

Many riders choose to clip their horse during autumn and winter when the coat becomes thick. A clipped horse sweats less, dries faster after training, and can work more efficiently. It also makes coat care easier and keeps the horse fresh for longer.

Which clipper should you choose for your horse?

There are different types of horse clippers depending on your needs:

Larger clippers – Powerful and perfect for full body clipping or several horses.
Smaller clippers/trimmers – Handy for sensitive areas such as the head, ears, and legs.
Cordless clippers – Provide greater freedom of movement and are practical in the stable or at competitions.

When choosing a clipper, consider your horse's temperament, how often you clip, and whether you need a lighter machine for details.

Which accessories are needed for a horse clipper?

To make your clipper last longer and give an even result, the right accessories are needed:

Blades in different lengths for adjusting the clipping
Blade sharpening or new blades when they become dull. At Swedish Equestrian, you can hand in your old blades for sharpening.
Lubricants & cooling spray to keep the machine cool and efficient
Cleaning brushes to remove hair and dust
Storage bags for safe transport and storage in the stable

How often should you clip your horse?

It depends on the horse's coat, breed, and how much it is trained. Some horses need to be clipped several times during the winter to avoid getting sweaty and overheated, while others can be clipped once per season.
