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.
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’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 (dried sweat and dandruff) 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.
The Finishing Touches
Once the horse has enjoyed its bath, brushing, and pedicure, the application of a grooming
spray will give it a glossy coat. It is important not to use this in the saddle area. Grooming
spray is slick enough to make a saddle slip sideways. Some grooms prefer to braid horses’
manes and tails, and some competitions require braiding. A good supply of braiding thread,
wire, and bands should be kept on hand. Instructional books on braiding are available for
beginners. Of course, UV rays are not only dangerous to humans. If the horse is left uncovered
in the paddock after grooming it may need some sunscreen.
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.
