I use the large industrial strength Stewart 'Clipmaster' clippers. Pretty hefty, but they do the job, horse, after horse. My record is 6 in one day, just major pre-show trimming 2 weeks before the big day. To keep the blades sharper longer, I clean them after each use with the air compressor, and oil the blades before, during and after use. We also have a little set of Wahl clippers that are rechargeable + are good for doing finish work. I haven't body or trace clipped a horse in years, and i don't miss it at all. What a chore...don't even get me started about where 1/2 of all that clipped hair ends up either! Good luck and give Jane a hug for me!

My clippers, which have always worked fine on my Appys, just roll over and play dead with the thick Fjord pelt. Anyone have a recommendation for clippers that are built Fjord tough?
