Description
Mackey Aluminium Pulling Comb with Hoof Pick
The Mackey Aluminium Hoofpick Pulling Comb is a 6 inch, two-in-one grooming tool that combines a mane pulling comb with an integrated pick. It is made for horse owners, grooms and yard staff who want one lightweight aluminium tool for mane pulling, plaiting, coat checks and picking out hooves.
Small but mighty, it is best for anyone who wants a compact comb that lives permanently in the grooming kit or plaiting box rather than a bulky separate comb and pick.

How to Use
- Brush the mane through with a body brush first so the hair lies flat and tangle-free.
- Take a small section of mane, backcomb the shorter hairs upwards with the comb, then pull the longest hairs to tidy and thin the crest.
- Work along the neck in small sections, taking regular breaks so the horse stays comfortable.
- For plaiting, use the comb to divide the mane into even sections before you begin.
- Comb through the coat with the pick end to check the skin for ticks and other pests.
- To pick out a hoof, stand to the side, lift the foot and work from heel to toe, keeping clear of the frog.
- Wipe or rinse the comb clean, dry it fully and store it in your grooming kit.
