Process of cuts gradually.

Although the haircut does not inconvenience to some horses, usually is not an pleasant process for the majority, so it chooses a place where it can be tied far from the transit of people or vehicles and tries to do it at moments of tranquillity, like early to the morning or to afternoon, after the food. The most easily frightened horses must be introduced to the process of cuts gradually.

Besides dealing with not puncturing it or cutting it with the machine, it is necessary to try not to leave lines in the cut. It gradually begins masajeando to the horse, passing his hands over all the parts of the body and paying special attention to the areas that are not touched habitually, like the belly and the ears. Soon it ignites the cutting one to certain distance of the horse, déjela working surrounded in a rag that diminishes the noise, returns to the horse and continues with the massage. When it is calmed, it raises to the machine and manténgala at a distance, gradually continues masajeando and muévala more and more close, until possibly replacing the massage by the cutting one. When the horse realizes from which the sound does not come from an insect that must be frightened, it will relax and you will be able to begin to cut.

The cut must be realised to contrapelo. It begins by the legs, an area in which the horse is customary in contact with tools. It uses smooth, even and short movements in different parts from the coat; the short movements avoid the lines desprolijas. If the coat is very long, will be necessary to cut it first with a great machine and to finish it with smaller. It remembers that one requires of great practice and patience to reach the wished results.
