Description
Mackey Aluminium Tail Comb With Wooden Handle
The Mackey Aluminium Tail Comb is a hand-held grooming comb with an aluminium comb head and a wooden handle, made for combing and thinning the mane and tail without painful pulling or tearing. It is best for riders, grooms and yard owners who want to tidy a thick mane or neaten a tail while keeping the horse comfortable.
The blade is exchangeable, so the comb can be refreshed when the edge dulls instead of being replaced.

- Take a small section of hair and comb downwards from the roots.
- Draw the comb through the section repeatedly to thin and shorten the hair gradually.
- Work along the mane in small sections, stepping back regularly to check the line and length.
- For the tail, work only on the sides of the dock and take very little hair at a time.
- Remove trapped hair from the blade, wipe the comb clean and store it dry.
FAQ
Does this comb pull the horse's mane?
No. It is designed for combing and thinning the mane without the painful pulling and tearing associated with traditional hand pulling, so many horses tolerate it better.
Can the blade be replaced?
Yes. The blade is exchangeable, so the comb can be refreshed when the cutting edge dulls rather than replacing the whole tool.
What is the comb made from?
The comb head is aluminium and the handle is wood.
Can I use it on the tail as well as the mane?
Yes. It can be used to thin and tidy the tail as well as the mane. On the tail, work on the sides of the dock and take only a little hair at a time.
Is it suitable for ponies and cobs?
Yes. It suits horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods. Thicker cob manes usually need more passes, working in smaller sections.
How do I look after it?
Remove hair from the blade after use, wipe the comb clean and dry the wooden handle rather than soaking it. Store in a dry grooming box or tack room and keep the blade away from children.
