Mountain & moorland blending is a service The Horse Barber offers. It is applicable to breeds such as the Welsh sections, Traditional Cobs, Fells, Dales and Highlands which require feather maintaining down the lower legs. For this style of clipping it is important to clip consistently and flawlessly to achieve the best over all look and to comply with competition regulations. To do this we need to clip in such a way so that it isn't obvious. So when it comes to the tail and hind, we remove the traditional half diamond shape and blend the fur into the top of the tail, leaving no evidence of a clipped coat as is begins to grow back. This can be achieved with blades to suit the coat type and colour in order to avoid visual gradient changes. For North West Championship blending we do this in mid September to allow at least a 2 week ‘bedding in’ of a clip. Please note this is very popular and if you do not book in advance this will not be available. Avoid leaving it until last minute as this is too late when you are wanting the perfected look.
