This is super helpful, I always wondered what the different lengths were. Thanks!

You’re welcome. Numerical data can be awesome. There are a couple of similar charts out there. I was going crazy when I was trying to compare Andis-style blades to each other and those to some of the others when I was trying to buy clippers. Mostly, I was trying to find something that clipped at about the length of T-84s since that seems to be a good length for my clipping style.

Every where I’ve groomed has used T-84s but I have wahls with adjustable blades (10-40) and I always wondered how 10s and T-84s compared.

A 7 blade leaves the hair at 3.2mm. I tried one of those a while ago, liked the length, but prefer larger clippers so haven’t used one recently.
In a Jeffers catalog, I noticed that they carry skip-tooth blades, and state that those are “good for horses with Cushings or extra thick coats.” They carry size 5 (hair left 6.3mm) and size 3 3/4 (hair left 13mm).

The PPID horse at the farm I work at has been clipped 3 times since the beginning of August. He is a show pony so gets a full clip. He is a grey.
For my personal horse who is not PPID, I have done the chase clip but I clip the face. Currently he sports a body clip with legs left long. I have delusions I may foxhunt this year. The territory I would hunt in has lots of prickers so leaving the legs long as protection is necessary.
I knew someone that would leave the legs and belly long and clip everything above that. She would clip the face behind the cheek pieces since he tended to sweat at the throat latch area.
