Mackey Flexi Curry Comb - Flexible Rubber Grooming Comb for Horses

The Mackey Flexi Curry Comb is a hand-held rubber curry comb with flexible teeth that loosen dirt, mud and loose hair from a horse's coat while stimulating the skin. It is best for everyday yard grooming, breaking up dried turnout mud and lifting dead hair during the moulting season, and it suits horses, ponies and cobs alike.

Its ergonomic flexible body contours to the shape of the horse, so the teeth stay in contact over curved areas such as the shoulders, barrel and quarters. Use it as the first stage of your routine, then follow with a dandy brush and body brush to finish.

FAQ

What is a curry comb used for?
A curry comb is used at the start of grooming to loosen dirt, dried mud and dead hair from the coat and bring it to the surface, where a dandy brush can flick it away. The Mackey Flexi Curry Comb also stimulates the skin as you work.

Can I use this rubber curry comb on the legs and face?
It is designed for the fleshy, muscled areas of the body. Use very light pressure or a softer brush on bony areas such as the legs, face, hips and spine, and always watch your horse's reaction.

Is it good for moulting horses?
Yes. The flexible rubber teeth are well suited to lifting dead hair during the spring and autumn coat change, and to breaking up dried mud after turnout.

Will it fit a small hand?
The comb is a standard hand-held size and is held in the palm rather than by a handle, so it suits most adult and older junior users. The flexible body moulds slightly to the hand in use.

How do I clean the comb?
Rinse it in warm water to clear trapped hair and mud, shake off the excess and leave it to air dry away from direct heat. Where possible, keep separate grooming kit for each horse to help limit the spread of skin conditions.

Can it be used on ponies and cobs?
Yes. The same comb suits ponies, cobs and full-size horses, as the flexible design contours to whatever body shape it is used on.
