It is recommended to follow these steps when using this product:
-First, make sure the horse's coat is clean for a better cut. Then, you can begin the process by holding the tip of the blade down against the skin and holding the back at an angle. The shorter the blade, the greater the angle. The blade should not skip along the skin. If necessary, you can use your other hand to slightly pull the skin taut and allow the blade to move smoothly over any area.
-Cut in the direction of the hairline. This results in more natural-looking cuts. If you cut perpendicularly across the hairline, you'll end up with nicks or cut lines. Start near the head and work your way down the back to the buttocks, then work your way down the legs.
If the horse's hair is particularly thick or flat, you can try going backward against the grain of the hair, always straight ahead and not diagonally. It's recommended to start at the bottom of the hind legs and work down to the rump, over the back to the neck and the back of the head. The interesting thing is that this technique produces an extremely smooth-looking cut.
