FAQ
What is a sweat scraper used for?
A sweat scraper removes excess water and sweat from a horse's coat. Using one after bathing or hard work helps the coat dry more quickly and reduces the risk of a horse standing wet and chilled.
Which side of this scraper do I use?
One side of the Hy Equestrian Progroom scraper carries a rubber edge, and that is the side you draw across the coat to remove excess water.
Can I use it on a pony or a sensitive horse?
Yes. It suits horses and ponies of most types. Use lighter pressure on thin-skinned or sensitive horses and avoid bony areas such as the spine, hips and lower legs.
Can I use it on the face and legs?
No, these areas are best dried with a towel. The scraper is designed for the larger, fleshier areas of the body such as the neck, shoulders, barrel and quarters.
How do I clean and store it?
Rinse under clean water after each use to remove hair, dirt and shampoo residue, shake off the excess water and allow it to air dry before returning it to your grooming box.
Is one scraper enough for a busy yard?
Many owners keep one in the grooming box at home and a second in the lorry or trailer for shows, clinics and competition days.
