What's included in horse clipper accessories?
Clipping is hard work. Thick winter coats, sand, dust – it all takes a toll on the blades. That's why you should always have a few basics at hand:
- Replacement blades and cutting sets– fine blades for clean contours, coarser ones for larger areas
- Clipper oil– to keep the cutting set running smoothly and prevent it from overheating
- Cleaning spray– dissolves grease, hair, and dirt after every clip
- Cooling spray– lowers blade temperature during longer clipping sessions
- Brushes and combs– for quick cleaning in between
- Batteries and chargers– a classic spare part for battery-operated devices
Tip from the stable: Better to have a second set of blades in stock than to be without in the middle of clipping. If you bought clippers and shearsfrom us, you'll find the right accessories for your specific model here.
Why clip at all?
Horses with thick winter coats sweat heavily when ridden – and then take ages to dry. A suitable clip ensures your horse dries faster after work, feels comfortable, and doesn't get chilled. For competition riders, clipping is also a year-round topic: a neatly clipped horse simply looks more presentable in the arena and on the course.
Which clip you choose – body clip, trace clip, or just a few contours – depends on the training intensity and intended use. You'll need suitable blades for different cutting lengths. That's exactly what the right horse clipper accessoriesare for.
Care for, sharpen, or replace blades?
Clipper blades are wear parts. Over time, they become dull, pull hair instead of cutting it, and generate heat. You then have two options: have them sharpened or replace them. Those who clip regularly benefit most from a spare set – one set in use, one in sharpening service.
To make your blades last longer: oil them before, during, and after clipping. Sounds obvious, but it's often forgotten. A few drops of care oilwill save you money on new cutting sets later.
Professional devices or entry-level models – what do you really need?
If you only cut a few contours once a year, a solid entry-level model with the appropriate accessories is sufficient. However, if you clip several horses in the stable or regularly prepare for shows, you should opt for a professional device – usually more robust, quieter, and with better blade options. In both cases: without oil, cleaning, and spare blades, it won't work.
Frequently asked questions about horse clipper accessories
What oil do I need for my horse clippers?
Only use special clipper oil – no WD-40 or cooking oil. It's thin enough to penetrate the cutting set and won't gum up.
How often should I change or sharpen my clipper blades?
As a rule of thumb: If the blade pulls, gets very hot, or the clipping takes longer than usual, it's time. With regular use, a sharpening service is usually worthwhile every 1–2 seasons.
Do replacement blades fit all clippers?
No. Blades are manufacturer-specific – Aesculap blades usually fit Aesculap devices, Heiniger on Heiniger, and so on. If in doubt, send us a chat message, and we'll help you find the right set.
What to do if the clippers overheat?
Oil them, pause briefly, let them cool down – and check if the blade is still sharp. A dull blade generates the most heat.
Which cutting length is right?
For a full body clip, medium cutting lengths are common. For contours around the head or fetlocks, use finer blades. Rule of thumb: the thinner the coat should remain, the finer the blade.
