    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: Invaluable for removing dried mud, stable and sweat stains, as well as massaging in shampoo
    • Coarse Brush: Borstiq Banana Dandy (natural plant Bassine bristles) or the Borstiq Arenga (another natural fibre bristle)
    • Medium Brush: Bostiq Shaped Medium (polypropylene bristle) or the Mex Fibre Brush (fibre bristle)
    • Flick brush: Borstiq Mex Fibre Flick: made from long fine polypropylene bristles, excellent for getting into soft coats for dust removal.
    • Soft Brush: Borstiq Mex Soft (Mix of Mex fibre and soft horse hair) or the Borstiq Finishing brush made entirely of horse hair.
    • Hoof Pick/ Hoof Brush: Used for picking out stones and mud, while the brush is helpful to scrub the hoof clean. The Borstiq Stubby Hoof pick has a pick and a stiff little brush – a perfect arrangement picking out the mud and brushing off the grit and dirt.
    • Mane Comb: Used gently to untangle the mane. If it’s particularly long or thick a tail brush may be more appropriate.
    • Tail Brush and Detangler: Used to detangle and brush those lovely tails. If your horse has a very delicate tail that is prone to breaking use the Borstiq Mane and tail brush, which has gentle rounded wooden pegs and won’t tear the hair.
    • Quarter Marking Brush – our Smart Grooming Quarter Marking brush has short firm bristles that create precise lines for sharp marking.
    • Water Brush – handy for scrubby muddy feet and legs. Smart Grooming’s Water Brush has sturdy polypropylene bristles and works effortlessly on thick mud and wet legs.

    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!
