It is best for riders who want a show-ready mane and for horses that object to traditional hand pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsed in short, repeated strokes down the neck, the rake removes surplus hair and reduces bulk gradually, so you stay in control of the finished length. It also neatens the top of the tail and shapes a bridle path, making it a useful year-round addition to any grooming kit.
