Horse Grooming Supplies - The Lister Large Animal Clippers and Trimmers of 2010
Today, we are going to review the full range of Lister horse and large animal clippers and trimmers taking them into 2010.
Lister, as a business, began in Gloucestershire in 1860, when R A Lister first started manufacturing ploughs and other agricultural implements.
In 1909, with the help of the Australian, James Davidson, Lister produced its first sheep shearing machine.
Since the introduction of the sheep shearing machine, Lister has maintained a continuous growth in research, development, design and manufacturing of large animal, including a full range of clippers dedicated to horse grooming.
Within recent years, Lister Shearing was purchased by Wahl Corporation, and continues to operate out of the UK as a subsidiary of Wahl.
Lister touts itself as being the longest established manufacturer of shearing and clipping equipment in the world.
Per their corporate literature, their clippers and trimmers designs and packaging continue to focus on:
