Melody Hames, is the name behind ‘The Horse Barber’ Brand. Melody began clipping horses at the age of just 9 years old in the mid 90’s. She is self taught and began clipping her Connermara pony who suffered from cushings disiese , to assist his comfort and wellbeing. Melodys passion and unique approach to her craft quickly gained the attention of media world wide, in the from of both online and print press, magazines, blogs and newspapers as well as TV publications.
Melody offers a different approach to horse clipping as has previously been known, largely due to her passion for craft, horsemanship skills, knowledge and understanding of different horses and coat types as well as a passion for art and design. All of this has helped her to identifiy new and better ways for the future of clipping horses safely and effectively, as well as creatively. Melody envisions an improved future of horse clipping and by providing her training, she wishes to create a safer and happier environment during the clipping process, for both horses and their handlers / owners alike.
