What do these horse grooming tools do?

Know Your Grooming Tools

If the coat of your horse is lackluster, it can be helpful to apply a horse grooming product to give it a gleam (like Show Sheen). This can be an effective way to make that equine shine but be careful when using this kind of product. While these products can make your horse sparkle, it can also make the coat slippery. The problem that this leads to is saddle slippage, which can be dangerous—especially in shows.

Another very useful grooming tool is a "Mud Brush.” This is the tool you want to use if your horse has been rolling around in the mud and grass. Before using it, however, let all of the mud dry or you will only smear it further into his coat and skin.

Come Spring, your horse will likely shed excess hair and a Shedding Blade is the perfect tool to use to loosen the hair. This is super sharp, so be attentive when using it. It's in your best interest not to use this tool on the legs or face of your animal as these are sensitive areas and this could lead to injury.
