Trimming & Tidying

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.

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 Coats by Smart Grooming are an amazing thinning tool that uses the same principle as Smart Tails and Smart Manes, but with a wider blade width of 5". 

They are brilliant for removing the thick winter undercoat.  The Smart Coats thinning rake has been tried and tested on ponies with Cushings and Donkeys and Shetland ponies who tend to be heavily coated all year round. 

If the Smart Coats rake is used continuously during the non shedding season it will thin the coat by cutting. Using them in the Spring time on all other large animals as well, will allow removal of the winter coat to be done very quickly as the head is so wide.

Great for thick matted coats on all types of animals including dogs, horses, donkeys, camels, goats etc

These rakes are available in coarse or fine. Takes replacement blades and is interchangeable.
They do not give a smooth clipped finish but do leave the coat tidy.

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.

Blades can be replaced or interchanged to different grades as necessary using a small spanner.
