Horse Grooming Kits

These practical grooming kits have been especially selected for all types, colours and breeds, as well as being suitable for sensitive skins. A great choice as a gift or as a perfect introduction to the Smart Grooming or Borstiq brands.

What is a Horse Grooming Kit? 

Horse Grooming kits are a collection of products ideally suited to everyday and competition horse grooming.   

A grooming kit contains the brushes, sprays, shampoos and tools you need to groom your horse. Grooming is important for the health and turnout of your horse, as well as a lovely activity to do together!

Why use a Grooming Kit?

Our horse grooming sets have been carefully put together so that each set meets a particular aspect of grooming. Do you have to plait for your upcoming event? Try our plaiting apron set – everything you need for professional plaits. Do you have a white horse that loves to cover himself in stable stains? Try our whitening grooming kit – you’ll be amazed at the results!

What is in a Grooming Kit?

Grooming kits vary from horse to horse – a native pony with a lot of hair will have a very different grooming kit to a thoroughbred. If you have a grey or white horse then there are specialist products available to keep them clean, Polar White Stain Remover will be an essential if this is the case! We have compiled a list of a few other key grooming products to make up a grooming kit for daily care. For us, this means:

• Super Groomer: Essential for removing dried mud, stable stains, sweat stains, and massaging in shampoo.

  Coarse Brush:

  • Borstiq Banana Dandy: Features natural plant Bassine bristles.
  • Borstiq Arenga: Another option with natural fibre bristles.

  Medium Brush:

  • Borstiq Shaped Medium: Made with polypropylene bristles.
  • Mex Fibre Brush: Utilizes fibre bristles.

  Flick Brush:

  • Borstiq Mex Fibre Flick: Long fine polypropylene bristles for effective dust removal in soft coats.

  Soft Brush:

  • Borstiq Mex Soft: Combination of Mex fibre and soft horse hair.
  • Borstiq Finishing Brush: Crafted entirely from horse hair.

  Hoof Pick/Hoof Brush: Used for removing stones and mud from hooves. The Borstiq Stubby Hoof Pick includes a stiff brush for thorough cleaning.

  Mane Comb: Gently untangles the mane; consider a tail brush for especially long or thick manes.

  Tail Brush and Detangler: Specifically designed to detangle and groom tails. Use the Borstiq Mane and Tail Brush for delicate tails prone to breakage.

  Quarter Marking Brush: The Smart Grooming Quarter Marking brush features short, firm bristles for creating precise lines.

  Water Brush: Ideal for scrubbing muddy feet and legs, the Smart Grooming Water Brush features sturdy polypropylene bristles for effortless mud and wetness removal.

What is the best grooming kit to buy for my horse?

Every horse is different, but we have a huge selection of Grooming Kits to suit any horse and rider. Choosing a Grooming Kit will depend on what colour and breed your horse is, alongside whether you compete your horse or not. Our Plaiting Kits are brilliant for showjumping, dressage and showing. Our Horse Whitening Kit is brilliant for white horses who are attracted to mud and stains and our Every Day Essentials Kit is a great choice for most horses and riders to use before and after riding.

We recommend taking the time to assess you and your horse’s needs, and building a very tailored grooming set. For example, if you plait regularly a clever tool like our perfect plaits comb can take the place of three other tools – keeping your grooming kit easier to pack on show days. We have everything you need for your grooming kit at smart grooming. Feel free to reach out to us if you have a question!
