Mackey Plastic Mane Comb with Exchangeable Blade
Description
Mackey Plastic Mane Comb - Tidy and Thin Without the Pull
The Mackey Plastic Mane Comb is a plastic grooming comb with an exchangeable blade, used to comb through and thin a horse or pony's mane without painful pulling and tearing. It is best for riders who want a neater, thinner mane but have a horse that dislikes traditional hand pulling.
Because the mane is cut and thinned rather than pulled from the roots, the comb is a practical everyday alternative for sensitive horses, youngsters and horses that are difficult to handle around the neck. It earns its place in any grooming kit, on the yard or in the lorry for pre-show tidying.

FAQ
Does this comb pull the mane out at the roots?
No. It is designed for combing and thinning without painful pulling and tearing, so the hair is thinned rather than pulled from the roots.
Can the blade be replaced?
Yes. The comb has an exchangeable blade, so you can fit a fresh blade when the original loses its edge rather than replacing the whole comb.
Will it work on a thick native pony mane?
Yes, though take your time. Work in small sections and remove a little at a time, as thick manes need several passes to thin evenly.
Can I use it on the tail as well?
Yes. The same technique can be used to thin and tidy the top of the tail, working in small sections and checking the shape often.
Is it suitable for horses that hate having their mane pulled?
It is often a better option for sensitive horses and youngsters, as there is no tugging at the roots. Keep sessions short and let the horse settle.
How do I look after the comb?
Rinse and dry after use to remove grease and dust, and store somewhere dry. Handle the blade with care and keep the comb out of reach of children.
