Smart Grooming Hunter Mark Comb for Quarter Marks
Description
The Smart Grooming Hunter Mark Comb is a precision grooming tool made in England for creating hunter-style marks and quarter marks with clean, consistent results. It is best for grooms, show producers and riders who want a traditional, repeatable finish on the hindquarters for showing, hunting, dressage or in-hand classes.
The comb measures 8.2 cm wide and pairs high-grade steel teeth with a shaped wooden handle, so lines stay crisp and the tool stays comfortable to hold through a full turnout session.

How to Use
- Groom the coat thoroughly so it is clean and free of dust, then brush the hair flat in the direction it lies.
- Lightly dampen the hindquarters with water or a coat product so the hair holds a line.
- Hold the comb by the wooden handle and comb short, even strokes against the lie of the coat to form each mark.
- Work in sequence across the hindquarters, keeping spacing consistent and checking the pattern from a few steps back.
- Tidy any uneven edges with a second light pass, then allow the coat to dry before travelling.
- Wipe the teeth clean, dry the comb and store it in a dry grooming box.
FAQ
What is a hunter mark comb used for?
It is used to comb defined hunter marks and quarter marks into the coat on a horse's hindquarters, a traditional turnout finish for showing, hunting and competition days.
What size is the Smart Grooming Hunter Mark Comb?
The comb is 8.2 cm wide, which makes it easy to control on the curved surfaces of the hindquarters.
What is it made from?
It has high-grade steel teeth built for durability and precise lines, set into an ergonomic, shaped wooden handle.
Will it work on any coat type?
Marks show most clearly on a clean, well-brushed coat that has been lightly dampened. A longer or thicker winter coat may hold less definition than a fine summer coat.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The same comb can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods; you simply scale the size and spacing of the marks to the size of the hindquarters.
How should I care for it?
Wipe hair and coat product from the steel teeth after use, dry it fully and keep the wooden handle away from prolonged damp.
