RS Equine
Bekki has always been around horses since the age of 5. She worked in ‘pretty boring’ office jobs but decided to leave to follow her passion for horses, worked part time at a racing yard.
She has always done a small amounts of clipping and grooming for others, but decided to take the leap to go freelance full time when she could no longer fit this in with her job. She is currently studying for her degree and is soon off to do a MSc at Edinburgh University.
She currently rides 2 horses, Carrot, a 9-year-old ex-racer and also her 19 year old sports horse but looks after too many to count!
“Lister products all have their own pros - each can be used to help different horses from nervous to confident and always give a perfect finish!”
Kiya’s Cornish Clipping
Kiya is a professional groomer based in Cornwall. Having ridden for the last 18 years, Kiya now has two, Pete and Shetland Bambi. She has loaned and shared horses throughout her life and in that time found a love for clipping. Kiya used to help clip her first loan horse at the age of 14 and continued to clip her own and her friends. As she got a little older, she realised she could turn her passion into a business and started her own clipping service. Kiya specialises in desensitising and clipping young/green horses, which she finds very rewarding.
Kiya uses the Lister Liberty, something she has used for many years. Kiya finds the Liberty perfect for her work, as it means she can move out the way fast if she needs to without worrying about a wire! Away from horses, Kiya also clips cows on a dairy farm, clipping their tails and udder areas.
Lister has always been Kiya’s go to brand. She loves the friendly customer service and never been afraid to drop the team a message. Kiya’s kit includes two Lister Libertys and an Adelar Pro Trimmer.

Beverley Eborall
Beverley has been a hairdresser for 20 years and started professionally clipping 7 years ago. Being brought up around horses and having a passion for hair cutting and styling, it made sense to peruse clipping on the side!
Beverley uses our Lister Eclipse, paired with the Wahl Adelar Pro for more detailed, creative clipping.
“I am always thinking of my next big design. Most of my work is freehand, however, I do create my own templates to perfect the more intricate details. My Lister’s do the job and do it brilliantly, for me nothing compares to their dexterity and ease of use.
I love everything about clipping and I pride myself on giving each horse the best experience possible. I also provide clipping lessons and would like to do more on the education side of clipping. Being a part of Team Lister is the absolute icing on the cake for me.”
