Agri Health Single Leg Thinning Scissors for Horses
Description
Agri Health Single Leg Thinning Scissors - Stainless Steel Grooming Shears
The Agri Health Thinning Scissors are single leg stainless steel grooming shears that thin out thick areas of hair quickly while leaving a blended, natural finish. They are best for riders, grooms and yard staff who need to reduce bulk in heavy manes, thick tails, feathers and dense coat patches without cutting a hard, blunt line.
Because only one blade is toothed, the scissors remove a proportion of the hair with each pass rather than all of it. That makes them more forgiving than straight scissors and a sensible first trimming tool if you are tidying up at home between professional visits. Supplied prepacked.

How to Use
- Make sure the hair is clean, dry and free of tangles - comb it through first.
- Tie or hold the horse safely and stand where you can move away if it fidgets.
- Take a small section of hair between your fingers.
- Angle the toothed blade into the hair rather than straight across it, then close the blades.
- Comb through to release the cut hair and assess the density.
- Repeat in stages until you reach the thickness you want, checking from a step back as you go.
- Wipe the blades clean, dry them and store the scissors closed.
FAQ
What are single leg thinning scissors?
Single leg thinning scissors have one toothed blade and one straight blade. The teeth let some hair pass through uncut, so each cut removes bulk and thins the hair rather than shortening all of it at once.
What can I use these thinning scissors for?
They are used to thin out thick areas quickly - heavy manes, dense tails, feathers around the heel and thick patches of coat. They are also handy for tidying a bridle path or blending the edges of a clip.
What are they made from?
Stainless steel. The scissors are supplied prepacked.
Are they suitable for a beginner?
Yes. Thinning scissors are more forgiving than straight scissors because they blend as they cut, so uneven passes are far less noticeable. Work in small stages and check your progress frequently.
How should I look after them?
Wipe the blades after use, dry them fully and store them closed. Keep them out of reach of children and keep the points away from the horse's skin while trimming.
Can I use them on a horse that will not stand still?
These are sharp blades, so only trim a horse that is settled and safely restrained. If your horse fidgets, have someone hold it, work in short sessions, or ask an experienced groom to help.
