Oster: from hair clippers to horse grooming
John Oster founded the company in Racine, Wisconsin, in 1924. His first product was a hand-operated hair clipper, so the brand has worked with hair and coats from the very beginning. In 1960 the Sunbeam Corporation took over the company. Many people also know the Oster name from kitchen appliances, but here the focus is on animal care.

For detailed work around the head, ears or fetlocks there is the cordless Oster Mini Trimmer. For the grooming area we stock the Equine Care Series: a 7-piece grooming kit with everything you need for your horse's daily coat care, plus the shine and cuddle brush for the finishing touch. That makes Oster a good fit for horse owners who prefer to get grooming and trimming from one brand.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Mini Trimmer useful for on a horse?
It is small and quiet and suits ears, chin whiskers, feathers and clipping a bridle path. For larger areas you will need a proper set of clippers.
How do I keep the brushes from the grooming kit clean?
Knock out dust and hair after every grooming session. Every now and then, wash the brushes in lukewarm water with a little soap and let them dry with the bristles facing down.
