Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Poor Dee.  I don't have body clippers, but she is such a fuzz-monster that she sweats like a pig every time I work her and I couldn't stand it anymore... So, I gave her a little haircut.  With regular handheld clippers.  And it looks... ehm... not great.  First of all, I can't do lines to save my life.  That said, I saw this picture on Tamarack's Facebook page and thought "Hey, I can maybe do that!":

I liked it because it wouldn't involve TOO much in the way of making straight lines, and heck, if I messed up the lines on her withers, they would be covered with the saddle pad or her blanket.  Unfortunately even with good body clippers my skills are only so-so.  I did a nice job on Sitka when we went to Florida, but it's been years, and that was with heavy-duty high-end clippers.  The ones I used on Dee are meant for dogs.

I figure the lines will be less noticeable in a week or so:

"What have you done?  I hate you."

Serrrrrious hack job.

But it was a success in terms of her not being a sweat-monster!

On the bright side, she was a VERY good girl for her hack job clip.
