How to Use

Start at the ends of the mane or tail and work your way up to the roots, gently teasing out knots as you go. For best results, apply a leave-in detangling spray or a light coat of mane and tail conditioner before combing — this reduces friction and helps the comb glide through without snagging or breaking hair.

Plastic vs Metal Mane Combs

A plastic mane comb is a comfortable everyday choice. The smooth teeth work through tangles without snagging, keeping your horse settled through the session, and it is light enough in the hand for long sessions and for younger riders learning the basics. If you prefer a firmer tool for a thick, coarse mane, our steel mane comb does the same job in metal.

Comb vs Brush — When to Use Each

Use the plastic mane comb for tangles, knots and tidying the parting before plaiting. Switch to a softer mane and tail brush for daily smoothing and finishing — the brush is gentler on already-detangled hair and helps minimise pulling. A combination of both gives the best result without thinning the mane over time.

Show Prep Tip

For neat plaiting, run the comb through clean, slightly damp mane to lift any tangles before sectioning. A light spray of leave-in conditioner will keep flyaway hairs in line as you work.

Care & Cleaning

• Rinse under warm water after each grooming session to remove hair and conditioner build-up
• Wipe dry with a clean cloth and store in your grooming kit
• Inspect periodically for cracked or broken teeth and replace if damaged
• Keep one comb per horse if working in a busy yard to reduce the spread of skin conditions

Common Questions

Will this comb pull the mane?
Not when used correctly. Always work from the ends up to the roots, and pair the comb with a detangling spray for stubborn knots — that combination minimises breakage.

Can I use it on the tail?
Yes, but for very thick tails most owners prefer a wide-tooth tail brush or finger-combing to preserve length. The plastic mane comb is ideal for tidying and parting.
