- Finish with a towel, cooler or sweat rug so your horse dries off comfortably.
- Rinse the scraper under clean water, shake off the excess and leave it to dry before storing.
FAQ
What does a sweat scraper do?
It removes excess water and sweat from the coat after washing or exercise, so the horse dries more quickly and is less likely to stand wet for long periods.
Is this sweat scraper suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a single-size hand tool suited to horses and ponies, including natives, cobs and warmbloods, so there is no sizing to get wrong.
Where should I not use a sweat scraper?
Avoid the face and the bony lower legs, and use light pressure over the spine, hips and other bony areas. The rubber edge is designed to flex over the larger muscled areas of the body.
How do I clean and store it?
Rinse the scraper under clean water after each use, shake off the excess water and allow it to dry fully before putting it back in your grooming kit.
Can I use it on a wet horse in winter?
Yes. Scraping off surface water first and then using a cooler or sweat rug helps a horse dry off more quickly in cold weather.
