Grooming Items
I am always looking for
new things to groom my horses with.
Poor guys get brushed twice a day and I have one horse
that cannot stand to be brushed (mare of course!).
I have tried every soft brush available to no avail!
Finally, I have found a tool that even she will put up
with.
It
is an “Ulta Mitt” by Epona that is wonderful.
It is made of a fiber that it great for getting mud and
dirt from hard to get to places, like the legs and face area.
It is a glove made of a rough type fiber that stays on
your hand, won’t slip and is great either wet or dry.
My horse doesn’t seem to mind that I rub her with my
hand, so this works great.
When you come back from a ride and it is too cool to
hose your horse down, but there is mud and dirt caked on, this
mitt takes off dirt easily and gets rid of the dirty saddle or
girth line and just cleans right off with a few shakes! Almost
too easy! It also
makes the coat shine, so it is worth it just for that.
One
other thing I tried and have found to beat another product I
have used for years……….. this is something called Canter
Silk and it is a conditioning spray that you spray on wet or
dry manes/tails. I
have always used Cowboy Magic and thought it was the best
UNTIL I used this…..incredible how it lasts.
It makes any tail soft and silky and lasts for days,
even if is rainy and your horse rolls in the mud…. I would
not have believed it if I had not witnessed it my self.
I have a mare with a very think and long tail…..I
spray this once a week, and every time I brush her, the comb
goes right through her tail.
If you try it you will not be disappointed!
I
purchased these 2 items at M&M Tack Shop in Raleigh and if
you don’t live in Raleigh, I believe they have a website.
If you have trouble finding these items, let me know. I
have not seen them anywhere else, but they are made by well
known manufacturers.
Last,
have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year…Ride and be
safe!
