Autumn 🌫️ is here & winter ❄️ is coming

For "normal" people, these seasons rhyme with "Shall we have a raclette?" but for riders, it’s more synonymous with "Well, we’ll have to clip little thunder ... Then have a raclette" (but let’s not overdo it!).

WHICH GEAR? OHLALA IS HERE!

1. My horse is 100% desensitized, he loves clipping! 💓

In this case, when it comes to clippers, it’s up to you! 👀 The advantage with zen horses 🧘‍♀️ is that everything suits them: it vibrates a lot? That’s not a problem! It makes noise? That’s not a problem! It’s plugged in and the power cord is lying everywhere between my feet? That’s still not a problem! So for the gear, it’s up to you based on your preferences and budget! 💰

PS: We are obviously totally jealous! 😖

Here is the model we opted for in the stables: the clipper Heiniger - Delta 3!

2. If I’m efficient and it doesn’t take hours, he tolerates the presence of this noisy pair of scissors ✂️

Or the "I’m nice for a while, but you’ll have to put in some effort, human"! 🌞 Let’s not kid ourselves, this category includes a vast majority of the furry ones soon to be clipped ... In this case, if the horse really starts to get impatient and stomp, we advise you to invest in a cordless clipper ... SMART: being battery-operated will allow you to have one less problem to manage with a horse that won’t risk stepping on the power cord or scratching with its front legs exactly on the extension cord set up nearby (sounds familiar, doesn’t it?)

Tested and approved, the wireless Xplorer mower from Heiniger combines practicality and lightness ✨ A little advice though: don't hesitate to invest in a second battery to never run out of power 🤭

3. Complete grooming, I want to be precise in the details 🎈

For the most meticulous (and especially for horses that really need it, to be honest), we find the "zero ball" cuts, not a single hair left on the animal! 🐴 But the task, even if it seems simple at first glance, remains difficult: managing to get EVERYWHERE with a bulky mower? Not guaranteed in advance. That’s why, a few years ago (to our great pleasure), FINISHING MOWERS appeared! A pure delight: battery-operated, precise, almost silent, with almost no vibrations... In short, the best friends of the rider, trying them is adopting them :)

Again, it is for this model that we opted for the stables! Always from Heiniger, the wireless Saphir Style finishing mower allows us to achieve the most perfect trims, in every nook and cranny 😜

4. He hates it, I can't even consider turning on the mower in his presence… 😨

In this case, the advice is precisely... To not groom him yet 😄 This little wolf still needs to manage his emotions in front of this noisy and intrusive mower, and we can only recommend a global and patient desensitization before playing little groomers in the stable! 😎

We hope this article has been useful to you... In the Ohlala kitchen, a little BLOG POST "choosing your blanket" would fit well with the theme and it’s coming very soon! 🤱
