Grooming, washing, and clipping of an Arabian, may by hard work, but the "jewel" found underneath is well worth it.

The same horse after a little water and brush work

I got in four Andalusians one year all from New Mexico in the dead of winter and all kept outside. They were a scruffy crew. My Father walked down the stalls and stopped at one and said, this one is a Sleeper, this is your horse. Two days later he was clipped and bathed and his training began....his name? It became Sleeper and he was my first high-school horse that I trained and he was with me for years. Photo to follow.

Dianne,
As you know their is only one thing, I would rather do then body clip a grand Arabian. It is like opening a Faberge egg, and finding the prize. Cheaper the therapy, and so exciting and relaxing at the same time.

I wondered how long you would let me slide with that....

When you have 20 or so to clip, bathe, groom, work and you have NO HELP!
At least now I know someone who will body clip...and what do you charge?

Jody,
A good, well bred Arabian, nothing. That would be like getting paid for sex. It takes me awhile though, because I keep stopping to look and touch. All others, let somebody else do it.

Wade,
Please don't take this personal but,

"You are one sick Puppy."

Couldn't pay me enough to body clip anymore unless it was needed for a health issue.....

Jody,
It is another kind of animal. It is called a monkey. And it is square on my back. Some refer to it as a "jones".
