- Start at the neck and draw the blade backwards along the body in the direction of the coat, following the natural contours.
- Work in long, even strokes over the shoulders, barrel and hindquarters, flicking the water away at the end of each pass.
- Use a sponge or towel on the face, legs and other bony areas rather than the scraper.
- Finish by walking the horse off in a cooler or rug if needed, then rinse the scraper and leave it to dry.

FAQ
What is a sweat scraper used for?
A sweat scraper removes excess water and sweat from a horse's coat after exercise or bathing. Pushing surface moisture away helps the coat dry faster, which keeps the horse more comfortable as it cools down.
Is the Hy Equestrian Progroom Sweat Scraper suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a handheld tool used in strokes along the body, so it suits ponies, cobs and full-size horses alike. On smaller ponies simply use shorter strokes across the shoulders and barrel.
What makes the gel grip handle useful?
The gel grip gives a secure, non-slip hold when your hands are wet or soapy, which makes the scraper easier to control and more comfortable during regular yard routines.
Can I use it on the horse's legs and face?
It is best kept to the fleshy areas of the neck, shoulders, barrel and hindquarters. Use a sponge or towel on the face, legs and other bony areas.
How should I clean and store it?
Rinse the scraper in clean water after use and allow it to air dry before returning it to your grooming box. Where a horse has a skin condition, keep its grooming tools separate from those used on other horses.
Do I still need a cooler after using a sweat scraper?
A scraper removes surface moisture but does not replace a cooler. On cold days, or after hard work, walk the horse off in a cooler or breathable rug until fully dry.
