What Is a Mane Pulling Comb Used For?

A mane pulling comb is traditionally used when thinning and shortening a horse's mane.

The comb helps separate and organise small sections of hair, giving the handler greater control while working through a thick or uneven mane.

A well-maintained mane can also be easier to plait for competitions and shows.

Useful for Show Preparation

For horses that are shown with shortened or plaited manes, maintaining an appropriate thickness and length can make show-day preparation considerably easier.

The compact metal comb can be used as part of a regular grooming routine rather than leaving all mane preparation until immediately before a competition.

How to Use

1. Ensure the mane is clean and free from major tangles.
2. Work through small sections at a time.
3. Use the comb to separate and organise the hair.
4. When using traditional mane-pulling techniques, work gradually rather than removing too much hair at once.
5. Regularly check the overall thickness and length as you work.
6. Finish by combing through the mane and checking for an even appearance.

Some horses are sensitive to traditional mane pulling. Never force the process if the horse shows discomfort. Alternative mane-thinning or shortening techniques may be more appropriate for sensitive horses.

Ideal For

• Mane maintenance.
• Thinning thick manes.
• Shortening and tidying manes.
• Preparing manes for plaiting.
• Show and competition preparation.
• Everyday grooming.
• Horses and ponies.
