Horse Grooming Tools Buying Guide
Grooming is an essential part of caring for a horse. Cleaning and bathing, brushing,
clipping, and hoof care are all important for a horse’s general health and hygiene.
Close contact with the animal gives its caregiver the opportunity to check it for diseases
or injuries. Taking good care of a horse prevents sores, and brushing and washing
stimulates circulation. As an added bonus, daily grooming, specifically brushing, gives
the horse and its handler time to bond.A horse should be groomed from head to tail.
Each grooming activity requires specific grooming tools. Horses have been a part of
human life for centuries. As a result, a range of horse grooming tools is now available.
Tools can be found in pet supply shops, horse tack stores, and online. To avoid spending
money on unnecessary or useless tools, it is important to research grooming equipment
and know what is needed for the task at hand.
Bathing and Cleaning
While being bathed too often can give horses dry skin or dandruff, they should be
shampooed at least every few months. This washes the dirt, dust, and sweat out of
their coats. Show horses may be bathed more often. Theshampoo and conditioner
used when bathing a horse should be made specifically for horses. Using other kinds
of soap or shampoo could lead to skin irritation or dryness. Conditioning treatments
can also be used to keep the horse’s coat glossy and prevent dry skin.As with human
hair care products, the market is overflowing with all sorts of horse shampoos.
Shoppers can find everything from organic washes to water-free products. Special
mane and tail shampoo and conditioners help to detangle the hair, and keep it flowing
and easy to groom. A detangling spray can be used on matted manes and tails to
detangle hair without yanking it out. Additionally, some shampoos whiten hair, while
others make it darker.Sponges, cloths, and shampooing brushes are used to lift out
stubborn dirt and spread shampoo over the horse’s coat. If warm water is available on
tap, or if horses need to be hosed down on warm summer days, a spray nozzlemakes
the task easier. A spray nozzle can be attached to a hose, and easily controls the
water’s strength and direction. Once the horse is clean it can be partially dried with a
sweat scraper. A sweat scraper is normally used to remove sweat from a horse’s coat to
avoid chills after exercise. Plastic sweat scrapers usually look like straight plastic wands.
Metal sweat scrapers are metal bows with a straight edge. Some have a toothed edge
on one side that can be used as a shedding blade.
Combs and Brushes
The most important tool in one’s grooming kit is the curry comb. This rubber comb is
oval or round, with soft rubber teeth. It is used to loosen dirt in the coat. It should be
used with care on bony areas like legs. Metal curry combs should never be used on a
horse as they will damage the horse’s coat and skin. Instead, metal curry combs should
only be used to clean brushes. Grooming mitts can be used to remove sweat, marks,
and mud. They are commonly made from rubber, but some are made from wool or fleece
to polish and finish coats. Horses that have rolled in mud can be cleaned with a mud
brush. This brush has very stiff bristles. Make sure that the mud is dry before brushing
to avoid working the mud into the coat.Once the dirt has been loosened with a curry
brush, a stiff brush is used to remove it. This is called a dandy brush, and it is also used to
remove mud and heavy dirt. The horse’s coat should be finished off with a body brush,
or soft brush. This is used to remove the last bits of dirt, dust, and scruff on the
horse’s coat, leaving it sleek and glossy. A shedding blade can be
used to loosen and remove extra hair in the spring season. This very sharp bow-shaped
tool should be handled with care to avoid injury to the groom and the horse. It should
not be used on the horse’s face or legs.Brushes designed for the body should never be
used on the face. If the horse is startled, stiff bristles could injure its eyes. A soft face
brush is like a small version of a body brush. It is designed specifically for use on the face,
and allows one to groom the area with a minimal risk of injury to the animal. Once the
coat has been groomed, the horse’s mane and tail should be combed out with a mane and
tail comb. This will remove knots and tangles, leaving the horse with a free-flowing mane.
Plastic combs work better than metal combs as they are less likely to leave the horse
with broken hair. Once the hair has been detangled, a mane and tail brush can be used to
add shine.
Clipping Accessories
Clipping a horse allows it to dry quickly after exercise. It allows the horse to do fast work
without too much stress. Additionally, it makes grooming easier, and maintains a good-
looking horse. A good set of clippers with sharpclipper blades simplifies clipping. The
mane, tail, bridle path, fetlocks, and any stray hairs can be trimmed withscissors. The
bridle path is a short span of shaved mane on the neck, directly behind the ears. Keeping
the hair in this area short makes it easier to put the bridle on and take it off. The fetlocks
are projections on the lower part of the horse’s legs, where a person’s ankles would be.
Fetlocks usually have a tuft of hair growing on them as well.
Things to Keep in Mind when Buying Grooming Tools
Novice grooms may not have the resources to buy a lot of different tools to keep their
horses in top condition. Instead, they should consider buying a grooming kit that comes
with everything needed to get started. Additionally, books on grooming provide handy
tips and advice about grooming horses. Lastly, grooms should consider investing in a
sturdy tote. This will simplify carrying and storing one’s collection of grooming tools.
