LeMieux Ergonomic Sweat Scraper for Horses
Description
LeMieux Sweat Scraper - Traditional Grooming Tool for Horses
The LeMieux Sweat Scraper is a traditional horse grooming tool used to sweep surplus water and sweat from the coat after bathing, hosing down or hard work. It suits any rider or groom who bathes, washes off or cools down a horse, pony, cob or warmblood at home, on livery or at a competition.
A comfort ergonomic handle with ribbing detail gives a soft and secure grip, and a hole at the end of the handle plus a silicone strap mean it hangs neatly in the tack room or wash bay instead of sitting wet in a grooming box.

How to Use
- Tie or hold your horse safely and finish bathing, hosing or washing off.
- Hold the scraper by the ribbed handle, keeping a relaxed but secure grip.
- Starting at the neck, draw the scraper along the coat in the direction the hair lies, using light, steady pressure.
- Work over the shoulders, barrel and quarters, using shorter strokes on bonier areas.
- Avoid the head, spine and lower legs, using a towel or sponge on these sensitive areas instead.
- Rinse the scraper, wipe it clean and hang it by the strap or handle hole to dry.
FAQ
What is a sweat scraper used for?
A sweat scraper removes surplus water and sweat from a horse's coat. It is used after bathing, hosing down or hard work so the coat dries more evenly and quickly.
Is this sweat scraper suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a one-size traditional grooming tool and works on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods. Simply use shorter strokes on smaller or finer-built animals.
Where should I not use a sweat scraper?
Keep it away from the head, the spine and the lower legs, where there is little covering over the bone. Use a towel or sponge on these areas instead.
How is it stored?
There is a hole at the end of the handle and a silicone strap, so it can be hung on a hook, stable door or wash bay rail rather than left damp in a grooming box.
How do I clean and care for it?
Rinse after use to clear hair, dirt and shampoo residue, wipe over and hang up to dry fully before storing. Check the edge and handle occasionally for wear.
Will it slip if my hands are wet?
The handle is ergonomically shaped with ribbing detail to give a soft and secure grip, which helps when your hands are wet or soapy.
