Equi-Sential Large Rubber Curry Comb for Horses
Description
Equi-Sential Large Rubber Curry Comb - Everyday Grooming Essential
The Equi-Sential Rubber Curry Comb (Large) is a soft, flexible rubber grooming comb with a moulded handle, used to lift loose hair, dried mud and dust from a horse's coat. It is best for horses, cobs and larger ponies during daily grooming and heavy moulting periods, when a rubber curry removes far more shedding hair than bristles alone.
Worked in small circles over the body, it brings dirt to the surface of the coat ready to be flicked away with a body or dandy brush, while the massaging action helps you check the skin for scurf, lumps or rubs as you groom.
Key Features
- Soft, flexible rubber that follows the contours of the shoulders, barrel and quarters
- Moulded handle for a secure, comfortable grip through a full grooming session
- Large size for more coverage per stroke on horses and bigger ponies
- Excellent for moulting coats in spring and autumn
- Lifts dried mud and dust from field-kept horses before tacking up
- Easy to rinse clean and quick to dry between uses

FAQ
What is a rubber curry comb used for?
It is used in circular motions to lift loose hair, dried mud, dust and scurf to the surface of the coat, so they can then be brushed away with a body or dandy brush. It is usually the first tool used in a grooming routine.
Is the large size right for my horse or pony?
The large size suits full-size horses, cobs and larger ponies, giving more coverage per stroke. For small ponies, foals or riders with smaller hands, a standard or small curry comb is easier to control.
Can it be used on the face and legs?
No. Keep a rubber curry to the fleshy areas of the body such as the neck, shoulders, barrel and quarters. Use a soft brush on the face and over bony areas like the lower legs.
Is it good for a moulting horse?
Yes. A flexible rubber curry is one of the most effective tools for shedding season, lifting large amounts of loose winter coat that bristle brushes leave behind.
How do I clean the curry comb?
Pull away trapped hair, rinse under water and shake off the excess, then leave it to air dry. Wash occasionally with mild soap to remove grease, and store away from direct heat so the rubber stays flexible.
Can it be used on a wet or muddy horse?
It works best on a dry coat, as dried mud lifts away far more easily. If the coat is wet, allow the mud to dry first, then curry and brush off.
