It is best for riders who want a neater, thinner mane but have a horse that dislikes traditional hand pulling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause 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.
