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 Borstiq Everyday Horse Grooming Kit set comprises the best selection of brushes for everyday use. Chosen for effective daily grooming and massage as well as being hard wearing for continual use. Perfect choice for the daily grooming of all types of horses and ponies.

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.

The Ultimate High Shine Lotion

Smart Grooming Super Shine is a concentrated high gloss, non oil based lotion for use on all body areas and manes and tails, and as a final finish before entering the show ring. 

This multi-purpose lotion can be used as a high-lighter, a mix for make up, or used for hot clothing used diluted with hot water, as a final finish for the ultimate shine.  It doesn’t attract dust or dirt – shine is guaranteed all day.  

• This is a non-irritating formula which can also aid the healing of minor scrapes and grazes as well as give a high shine, dry finish that doesn’t attract the dust and is ideal for the show and competition arena to enhance and shine the natural coat colour.

Squeeze a small amount into the palms of your hands and then work through the mane and tail. For body areas we recommend hot clothing with Super Shine for a thorough high shine finish.
