Horse clippers can set you back a couple hundred dollars or you can get them as cheap as $30. However, most horse owners report being frustrated with their cheap horse clippers so try to avoid buying a cheap horse clipper if you can. Save up your money and buy a good one, as it will last the lifetime of your horse and beyond! Wahl horse clippers are a very popular brand, as are Oster horse clippers. Here is a comparison of several of their current models.
If you want to buy rechargeable horse clippers that are powerful enough to cut the bridle path, as well as do precision trimming on the face and ears, then investigate the Wahl Moser Arco Clipper Kit. Not only does it come with two batteries, but users report that the charge lasts for 90 minutes…plenty of time to get your horse done. The adjustable blade means you don’t have to change blades when you want to blend clipped areas into the non-clipped areas, so you’ll get professional-looking results in less time too. This horse clipper will not handle any really big jobs though. If you need to do a full-body clip, better get out a corded model for that. Otherwise, these clippers may end up being your favorite piece of horse equipment!
The Oster PowerPro Ultra Cordless Clipper is more expensive than the Wahl clipper above, but it has an added advantage of Oster’s patented Cryongen-X blade which stays cooler than other blades. A cool blade is very helpful when you’re doing sensitive facial areas. However, some people have had trouble with the battery on this clipper not being powerful enough, and not lasting very long. Other people have had good luck with it. If you decided to try it, make sure you buy it from somewhere with a good return policy just in case.
The Wahl Stable Pro Clipper is probably the most popular corded clipper ever, and is available for under $100. It also features an adjustable blade so you don’t have to swap blades while you’re working. It is also very quiet and can power through even the toughest hair on a horse. It does vibrate a little bit, so you might need to desensitize your horse and let her get used to it before you start right in.
The Oster Equine Adjusta Groom Clipper also features an adjustable blade, and it’s quite a bit lighter weight than the Wahl Stable Pro. If you do a lot of clipping, the lighter weight clippers will be very nice! It is a bit louder than the Wahl also, but is definitely up to the job of cutting whatever hair your horse can grow. It’s a bit cheaper than the Wahl clippers too: available for around $55.
As you can see, Wahl horse clippers are generally the preferred brand of clippers, and they make some really good ones. When it’s time to do horse grooming, having a good pair of horse clippers is worth paying a little bit more. There’s no need to take an enjoyable task and turn it into a frustrating chore.
