I bought a Massager to do this with it makes the same noises as clippers vibrates like clippers but it massages. i bought it just over a week ago doing some other bits before i worry about clipping found all your videos today. hoping it will work the same

@engrose It can be helpful but in these cases some of the horses were more distrustful of the cutting sound then the motor noise so I am working with that.

Hi Farah, I am having funn watching your vids about Clipping. They show the level of confidence the horses have in you. Its a laugh when she gets here whiskers into the clipper.

I wonder if your method of giving treats is really all so good? Many people use it, I don`t. I pet and caress them and they love it. regards, Klaus

A lot of people don't like to work with food and here's the thing. Horses use controlling food with each other in the herd right? So here is a situation where I am saying "that is my food but I will share it with you" It is no different then a horse chasing the other horse away from their food. That is how horses show leadership. Food is a powerful area to shape leadership with a horse. It should utilized in balance with work without food. It is an integral part of how horses relate in the herd
