LeMieux Mane Tamer Horse Mane Training Aid
Description
LeMieux Mane Tamer - Train Your Horse's Mane to Lie Flat
The LeMieux Mane Tamer is a grooming aid that helps train a horse's mane to lie flat and settle neatly to one side. It is best for riders, grooms and yard owners dealing with manes that split down the crest, stick up after washing or fall on the wrong side before a show.
Used regularly after brushing or washing, it encourages the hair to set in the direction you want, giving a tidier finish for schooling, in-hand work, showing and photographs. It suits horses, ponies and cobs and stores easily in any grooming box.

FAQ
What does a mane tamer actually do?
It holds the mane smoothly in one direction while it dries or settles, encouraging the hair to lie flat on the chosen side rather than splitting across the crest.
How long does it take to train a mane?
There is no fixed timescale. Retraining a mane is gradual, so repeated use over several grooming sessions gives better results than a single application.
Will it fit my pony or cob?
The Mane Tamer is intended for general use across horses, ponies and cobs. Manes vary considerably in thickness and length, so check the fit along the crest and adjust its position as needed.
Can I leave it on overnight?
We do not recommend leaving a horse unattended with unfamiliar equipment in place. Check the mane and crest regularly and remove it if you notice any rubbing or if your horse seems unsettled.
Can I still plait over a trained mane?
Yes. A mane that lies flat and to one side is generally easier to plait evenly, which is why many people use a mane tamer as part of show preparation.
How do I clean it?
Remove loose hair, dust and dirt after use and store it dry in your grooming box or tack locker.
