Sklar Merit Fetlock Clipper, 5-3/4 Inch
A 5-3/4 inch clipper used by veterinary and grooming staff to trim hair around a horse's fetlock as part of routine equine care and preparation.
The Sklar Merit Fetlock Clipper is a hand tool used to trim hair from around the fetlock area of a horse's lower leg, a task performed regularly as part of routine grooming, show preparation and general equine care. Measuring 5-3/4 inches with 17 by 19 blade dimensions, the clipper is sized to allow the operator to work close to the leg with good visibility and control, trimming excess hair without nicking the skin in an area with limited soft tissue coverage.
Tools of this kind are used by veterinary staff, farriers and professional grooms in equine practices, stables and show preparation settings wherever a clean, tidy leg line is required for health, hygiene or presentation reasons. Because fetlock hair can trap moisture and debris, regular trimming with a tool like this also supports basic skin health in the lower leg.
Constructed for repeated manual use, the clipper is built to hold a functional cutting edge across many grooming sessions. It is typically kept as part of a general equine grooming and veterinary kit alongside other trimming and clipping tools.
