Horse Clippers, Clipper Blade Sharpening, Dog Grooming & Veterinary Supplies

Welcome to the Clippersharp website where you can buy on line or just browse through the comprehensive range of clippers and grooming products that we stock.

We are very aware that there are many places for you to make your purchase, however we do hope you make your final choice with us. We are clipper specialists, and have built up our business and reputation by giving personal service, good advice and fair pricing.

We also have a comprehensive clipper blade sharpening and machine repair and servicing section at our workshop, and this is how our business started back in 1993.  Clipper blade sharpening is a very skilled and precise job.  We have several machines here to sharpen the different types of clipper and trimmer blades.  We use a lapping machine for most of the larger blades as this gives a perfect matched pair of blades.  The smaller pet blades are sharpened on a different machine and are re-calibrated when they are assembled.
We supply many brands of horse clippers and trimmers including Lister, Wolseley, Hauptner,  Heinegar and Moser. We also carry a wide range of dog clippers including Oster, Andis, Aesculap and Wahl which can be used by the professional groomer and home owner/groomer.  These are also widely used by vets.

For sheep shearing we favour Lister and Heiniger clippers and keep in stock all the appropriate sheep combs and cutters. For cattle clipping we offer heavy duty clippers made by the British company Lister Shearing but also recommend Wolseley and Hauptner as alternative brands of heavy duty clippers.

All the clippers have been tried and tested by ourselves, so if you need any advice before buying, just give us a call first.

Smart Grooming is our sister company set up in 2006 and offers the full range of Smart Tails, Smart Manes and Smart Coats and other innovative grooming products. This range is also available to Trade and Wholesale customers. Trade enquiries should be made directly to Smart grooming – there is a link on the www.smartgrooming.co.uk site. 

Lister clippers are a particularly good buy at the moment, with prices being extremely competitive. The Lister Star is a very reliable medium duty clipper with easy to tension blades.  The Lister Legend is the new heavy duty model in their range.  Designed for clipping a larger number of animals, it is still easy to hold and comparatively light in weight for a machine with such power.  The Lister Liberty, an all time favourite within the horse world, is probably the most versatile of all the horse clippers.  It can be powered off a small clip on battery, or used off the mains, using a mains conversion kit, or from a 12V car battery, using vehicle leads. 
We now have three Lister trimmers within our horse trimmer range.  They have been designed to make trimming the fiddly and sensitive areas quicker and easier.  The Lister Pico is the smallest of the trimmers and can be fitted in the palm of the hand.  It has a very small blade and is really best for whiskers and around the chin area.  The Lister Meteor is an old favourite and has a snap on blade.  This is a very quiet and efficient trimmer and comfortable to hold.  The Lister Legato is the largest of the trimmers, and has a blade adjustment lever on the side of the machine.  This enables the user to adjust the clipping length to blend in with the rest of the body when clipping the head area.
For the 2009/2010 clipping season, Lister have also brought out the Lister Libretto.  This machine would be classed as light duty, but can be used for trimming or part/full body clips if the coat was not too coarse and thick.  It operates from a 12V battery pack giving 4 hours work time or can also be powered from a mains adaptor or 12V vehicle leads.
The Lister Libretto like the Lister Liberty is a really versatile clipper/trimmer and takes snap on Lister blades, enabling a wider blade (No 10W) to be used for larger areas and a narrower blade (No 10) which it comes with, for the more fiddly areas.
Also new for this season is the Heinegar Saphir. ,This brand new clipper is primarily aimed at the showing, veterinary, dog grooming market. It takes all snap-on blades like Oster, Andis and Wahl. Supplied with 2 batteries, each battery will clip for 45-60 minutes and recharges in 30 - 40 minutes. In field trials with this clipper, operators have said that this is the most powerful clipper of it’s type. It is top quality as you would expect from Heiniger.
We have also added a fantastic range of horse grooming brushes, which are made in Sweden by a company called Borstiq Farm.  These Borstiq brushes are made from mostly natural fibre and have been ergonomically designed for ease of handling.  The Borstiq banana brushes and Borstiq mini broom brushes come in soft finishing, medium and coarse and are ideal for both stable and field kept horses.  For the full range refer to the Borstiq Brushes page.
Our newest product range is the Argentinian Estribos belts and dog collars.  We thought it was about time to stock this top quality range, as they make particularly nice gifts, and are the “must have to wear” item for 2010!  The belts and collars co-ordinate and come in a variety of colours and designs. See the Estribos page for the full range.
