Grooming Kit Guide

What Is a Horse Grooming Kit?

A horse grooming kit is a collection of tools and supplies used to maintain a horse’s coat, hooves, and overall appearance. Regular grooming is essential for a horse’s health, comfort, and well-being. Grooming kits include brushes, combs, scissors, and other speciality supplies such as for hoof care, plaiting or quarter marking. 

Exactly what is in a grooming kit depends on the type of horse you have, and the activities that the horse undertakes. For example, a traditional cob that is only used for hacking will have a grooming kit based around medium to firm brushes, detanglers, and sprays to keep feathers, tail and mane pristine. This is a very different kit compared to that of a thoroughbred that regularly shows– brushes will need to be soft, and there will extra supplies for plaiting and quarter marking!

In this series of blogs we’ll be looking at what makes up a grooming kit, and how to tailor your grooming kit for different equestrian events.
