Smart Grooming 5" Pointed Scissors - Precision Detail Scissors for Grooming & Plaiting
The Smart Grooming 5" Pointed Scissors are compact stainless steel grooming scissors with sharp pointed blades and fine tips, made for detailed horse grooming, trimming and plaiting work. They are best for riders, grooms and plaiters who need accurate close-up cuts - tidying mane ends, trimming smaller ponies and snipping plaiting thread - rather than bulk mane or tail work.
At 5 inches (12.5 cm) they slip easily into a grooming bag or plaiting kit, and the high-quality stainless steel construction with satin finish gives a smooth cutting action that stands up to regular yard and show use. Browse more horse grooming products to complete your kit.

How to Use
- Brush the mane or area to be trimmed so the hair lies flat and free of knots.
- Hold the scissors in your dominant hand and keep the fine tips pointed away from the horse's skin and eyes.
- Take small sections at a time and make short, controlled cuts for an even, natural finish.
- When plaiting, use the pointed tips to trim thread or elastic close to the plait without disturbing it.
- Wipe the blades clean and dry after use, remove any hair or grease, and store closed in a dry place.
FAQ
What size are these scissors?
They measure 5 inches, or 12.5 cm, in overall length - a compact size chosen so they fit easily into a grooming bag or plaiting kit.
What are they best used for?
They are best for detail work: tidying mane ends, trimming smaller ponies, cutting plaiting thread and general show-prep tidying. For thinning or shortening a full mane, most riders prefer pulling or a mane comb and thinning tool.
What material are the blades?
High-quality stainless steel with a satin finish, which supports durability and a smooth cutting action.
Are pointed scissors safe to use around a horse?
They contain sharp edges and fine points, so they must be handled with care. Keep the tips angled away from the horse's skin and eyes, work with a settled horse, keep them out of reach of children and use them only for their intended purpose.
How do I look after them?
Wipe the blades after every use to remove hair, dust and grease, dry them thoroughly and store them closed in a dry place to protect the fine tips.
Are they suitable for left-handed users?
They are a standard straight-blade design and can be used in either hand, though right-handed users will find the blade alignment most natural.
