LeMieux Rubber Curry Comb - Everyday Grooming Essential

The LeMieux Rubber Curry Comb is a flexible rubber grooming tool used in circular motions to lift dried mud, dust, scurf and loose hair from a horse's coat. It is best for owners who want a simple, hardworking first-stage brush for daily grooming, moulting season and muddy winter turnout.

FAQ

What is a rubber curry comb used for?
It is used in circular motions to lift dried mud, dust, scurf and loose hair from the coat, and to massage the skin before you finish grooming with a body brush.

Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The comb suits horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods, and is often used on hairy natives that carry a lot of mud in winter.

Can I use it on the legs and face?
Use it mainly on the muscled areas of the body. Over bony areas such as the legs, face and hips, use very light pressure or choose a softer brush instead.

Does it help with a moulting coat?
Yes. The rubber teeth are effective at bringing shedding hair to the surface during spring moulting, which makes it easier to brush away.

How do I clean the curry comb?
Tap out the hair as you groom, then rinse under water and leave it to air dry away from direct heat. Replace it if the rubber splits or wears thin.

Can it be used on a wet or muddy horse?
It works best on a dry coat, as dried mud lifts far more easily. Allow a wet horse to dry off first for the best results.
