Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Gel Grip Metal Spring Curry Comb
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Gel Grip Metal Spring Curry Comb is a grooming tool with flexible metal spring teeth that lift dirt, dried mud and loose hair from a horse's coat. It is best for owners and grooms who need a hard-working pre-grooming comb for muddy, moulting or turned-out horses, and it doubles as a cleaner for the rest of your brushes.
The spring coils loosen debris so a dandy or body brush can sweep it away, while the gel grip handle keeps the comb secure and non-slip in the hand during everyday grooming sessions.

FAQ
What is a metal spring curry comb used for?
It is used before brushing or bathing to loosen dried mud, dirt and loose hair from the coat, so the following brush can lift it away more easily.
Can I use it on a clipped or sensitive horse?
Use it gently and stick to the muscled areas of the body. Metal coils are firmer than rubber, so for thin-skinned, clipped or sensitive horses, keep pressure light or choose a rubber curry comb instead.
Where should I not use it?
Avoid the face, the mane and tail, bony areas such as the spine and hips, and the lower legs.
Does it clean other grooming brushes?
Yes. Drawing brush bristles across the metal spring coils pulls out trapped hair and buildup, keeping body brushes and dandy brushes working properly.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes, it can be used on horses, ponies and cobs, adjusting pressure to suit the individual and their coat.
How do I look after it?
Tap out trapped hair after each use, rinse if it becomes muddy, allow it to dry fully and store it in a dry grooming box.
