Grooming Aids

In this area of caring for your horse there is a ton of stuff to shop for , almost anything in colors and design is available. I wanted to list a few things that would be a good to have on hand and then you may want to add to the collection of items depending on the number of horses you care for. If you're like me, its hard to buy one of what you need.

BODY & CURRY BRUSHES

These are essential to have whatever type of horse you may own, the body brushes come in a stiff or soft bristle. The shapes and colors are endless, they also have smaller ones to fit young riders hands out there. The curry brushes are made out of a flexible rubber and also come in great colors other than the standard black that you usually see. They are great for getting rid of the shedding hair from your horse, also the metal shedding blades are great for that to.

HOOF PICS & SCRAPES

The care for your horses feet is a must, so one step in keeping them clean from mud and debris is buy some hoof pics. A popular one I think is the pic and brush combination and also there are the metal ones. The sweat scrapes are needed to wipe off excess water and sweat from your horse, mostly after giving one a bath. With a variety of colors they come in you can even pick one to match your saddle pad.

CLIPPERS, TOTES & BAGS

If you put pride in the appearance of your horse then you should own electric clippers, they are great for cutting a bridle path in your horses mane, it gives a much smoother and cleaner look than scissors. They have some great bags to store all of your grooming supplies in so you can have them when you're on the go. The plastic totes are another option to keep everything organized and at you fingertips, so pick your favorite color like your saddle pad and start collecting them today.
