Hy Equestrian Progroom Faux Sheepskin Grooming Mitt
Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Grooming Mitt — Soft Faux Sheepskin Coat Finisher
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Grooming Mitt is a hand-worn grooming glove made from ultra-soft faux sheepskin, designed as the final step in an everyday grooming routine. It gently lifts dust and loose hair from the coat while helping to distribute natural oils for a healthy, glossy finish, making it best for riders who want a show-ready shine without using a stiff brush.
Because the faux sheepskin is so soft, the mitt is suitable for sensitive areas including the face, so it works well on horses and ponies that are ticklish or thin-skinned. It is washable, long-lasting and an animal-friendly alternative to real sheepskin.

- Slip the mitt onto your hand so the faux sheepskin sits against the coat.
- Work in the direction of the hair in long, smooth sweeps over the neck, shoulders, barrel and quarters.
- Use light pressure around the head, face and other sensitive areas.
- Shake the mitt out regularly to release trapped dust and hair.
- Wash when soiled, allow to dry fully, then loosen the fibres before storing with your grooming kit.

FAQ
What is a grooming mitt used for?
A grooming mitt is a finishing tool. It is used after brushing to lift remaining dust and loose hair from the coat and to help spread the coat's natural oils, leaving a smooth, glossy finish.
Can the Hy Equestrian Progroom Grooming Mitt be used on a horse's face?
Yes. The faux sheepskin is ultra-soft, so the mitt is suitable for sensitive areas including the face. Use light pressure and follow the direction of the hair.
Is the mitt washable?
Yes, the faux sheepskin is washable. Allow it to dry fully before storing, then loosen the fibres so they stay soft and lofted.
Does it replace a body brush or curry comb?
No. It is designed to be used after those tools rather than instead of them. Remove mud and heavy dirt first, then use the mitt to finish the coat.
Is it real sheepskin?
No. It is made from faux sheepskin, offering a practical and animal-friendly alternative to the real thing.
Will one size fit my hand?
The mitt is designed to fit comfortably on the hand and is worn rather than gripped, so it suits most adult hands and can be used over a thin glove if you prefer.
