Absolutely wonderful. I can clip my entire Great Pyrenees dog (who has fine, woolly, horrible on clippers, super thick hair) on one battery charge, and recharge time is one hour. Can do bridle path, ears, noses and legs on 4 to 6 horses before needing recharge. Quiet and less vibration, my old show horse can handle them without being tranked. I sure wish the company would pay me for saying how much I like them, hahaha!kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253025366100154732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-21648365607893619962010-09-27T22:19:59.938-06:002010-09-27T22:19:59.938-06:00Certainly did, Although the nudity was distracting...Certainly did, Although the nudity was distracting(lol) it was clear the he was a very good rider, and it took some guts to go out there and ride as he did.as I said beyond all else it didn't look terribly warm out.Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-54261561284954006272010-09-27T15:57:37.099-06:002010-09-27T15:57:37.099-06:00Side note on the clippers- I used to be a DIE HARD...Side note on the clippers- I used to be a DIE HARD Oster fan.

The music on this particular one just fits so well though. Doesn't look like he lost a bet at all and with only one rail down, he did a great job in my opinion.<br /><br />CP- to address a few things for you,<br />the jury is still out on the lights. I haven't seen any benifits, but some people swear it works. Some who used the red heat lamps have said their mares heat cycles went haywire and when breeding in the spring, it was all off kilter.<br /><br />Cowboy butts- One of the truck drivers at my previous job had 'that look'. Indescribable, but one look and I knew he had horses and rode. Turns out Virgil had an appy gelding up in Colorado. Him and one of my co-workers wondered all the time, how I knew he had a horse. He just had 'that look' about him. It wasn't the clothes- tee shirts, jeans, work boots and baseball caps... From then on, he was known as "Virgil the Cowboy Dude". <br /><br />Cordless clippers? I will have to ask the vet what kind he has. I don't so much care for cordless. My luck is the battery is usually dead when I need them. <br /><br />Clippers with cords- The Andis are extremely quiet in comparrison to the Osters and do not get nearly as hot either. Even over prolonged use. The mom of the one girls whose horse I clipped remarked about that after touching the clippers after I had finished one whole side of the horse. <br /><br />Andis also do not have those vents on the side that seem to blow the hair all over you as you work. I hate that. They do however have a plastic armature inside that needs replaced from time to time. Not expensive, hard to find or do, but still. If they made it out of metal- no complaints from me.<br /><br />GL- I don't even want to imagine where... I agree.

I used to have the same model Oster cordless that my hairdresser did - a little maroon rechargeable thing - that worked great for ears, muzzle & fetlock and bridle path touch-ups. Finally it died. I don't need "real" clippers, but I don't like the look of the cheap pocket trimmers I see at the tack store.<br /><br />I just need something for trimming, since Chip will be a yeti again this winter.cattypexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589672286463092432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-34413313388087006982010-09-24T07:12:19.875-06:002010-09-24T07:12:19.875-06:00I love how he wore a hard hat, though.

Good equitation stemming from functional hands and an independent seat.<br /><br />Actually a video like that would be a useful "visible rider" kind of lesson.... well, if you could ignore some of the anatomy. <br /><br />A trainer once pointed out to me that you can always tell a REAL cowboy by his ass. I spent a lot of time in the 80s trying to discern whether the dude was real or urban Cowboy.<br /><br />As for grooming, if you blanket your horse, be sure he's CLEAN when you start!!!<br /><br />Also, does keeping a horse under lights REALLY inhibit hair growth that much?cattypexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589672286463092432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852129912812812816.post-25905996379482129752010-09-23T18:00:01.190-06:002010-09-23T18:00:01.190-06:00Who knows? and what color was hat hores?
