Trimming & Tidying

The original and the best! Smart Grooming Smart Tails standard range will give you the show ring finish in minutes with zero discomfort  to your horse and safe for you to use too. This product is the “go to” for tidying up in minutes!

If you are looking for that smart professional “pulled” look or just want more definition and less bulk to the mane or tail, then choose from either coarse, medium, or fine grade depending on the finish. 

Use evenly down the sides of the tail starting at the top and working down, blend into a tapered look towards the end of the dock.  If you are not sure of the finish you would like, do a bit each day and then damp down and tail bandage for an hour or so. 

Check and then do a bit more until you get the finish you require.  If you want a more natural finish and just looking tidy, choose a coarse or a medium grade.  For a closer finish choose fine, although a medium may be needed to start with if the tail is very thick.

The humane way to tidy and thin.

The Smart Grooming Smart Manes Thinning & Tidying Rake will actually thin out a thick mane quickly and effortlessly and is perfect for tidying horses that usually react to traditional pulling methods. Guaranteed to work on even the most sensitive.

Three grades to choose from depending on the finish and density of hair being tamed.
Coarse - Great for a more natural finish. Good for coarse/wiry types of mane. The teeth are spaced out more widely allowing thick hair to pass through more easily. (12 teeth)

Medium - Perfect for the average unruly mane, this will cope with medium to soft hair. (18 teeth)

Fine - Suitable for very soft manes and for manes which have already been tidied. (23 teeth)

Brush through the mane first and put on the “wrong side”.  Comb through with a Smart Manes starting at the top, one stroke at a time working down. Brush back on to correct side.  If you want a level finish we recommend finishing with our Pro Levelling knife. 

Please note, the Smart Manes rake will thin the hair very quickly so be careful not to remove too much hair in one go as this can cause the hair to grow back rather spiky.

Smart Grooming Smart Tails replacement blades are available for Smart Tails Professional and Smart Tails Yellow Handle thinning tools.

Available in four grades - Superfine/Fine/Medium/Coarse.

The replacement blades are easy to change by loosening and removing the nut and bolt on one end.

It is best to change the Smart Tails replacement blades on a flat surface so that it is realigned correctly.
