Tools of a Champion Groom - Alan Davies


Throughout the afternoon, Alan will demonstrated his favourite products — the very ones he relies on to achieve world-class results. Each of these plays an essential part in keeping clippers cool, clean, and performing at their best:


Clipit Quattro Cordless Clipper

“Quiet, lightweight, and perfectly balanced — ideal for horses who need a calmer clipping experience.”Alan praised the Clipit Quattro for its smooth cutting action and reliability during long grooming sessions. Its cordless design gives complete freedom of movement, while the titanium blades deliver precision results every time.

Clipit Ice Care Spray

Alan will explain how overheating blades can quickly lead to discomfort for both horse and groom. He relies on Clipit Ice Care — a cooling, sanitising spray that instantly reduces heat build-up while cleaning away dirt and bacteria.

“It’s a must-have for hygiene and performance,” Alan noted.

Clipit Blade Wash

Keeping blades spotless is vital for consistent clipping. Alan will demonstrate and how to use Blade Wash to dissolve grease, grime, and residue between uses — prolonging blade life and maintaining a perfect finish.

Clipit Easy Oil Spray

Finally, Alan will share one of his golden rules: “A quick spray of oil every few minutes keeps your blades gliding, not grinding.”The Easy Oil Spray ensures blades stay lubricated, reducing friction, preventing wear, and keeping performance smooth throughout the session.
