Smart Grooming Narrow Quarter Marking Comb 18 Teeth
Description
The Smart Grooming Narrow Quarter Marking Comb is a UK-made grooming tool used to create quarter marks on a horse's or pony's hindquarters, with 18 teeth across a narrow 2.2 cm width. It is best for riders and grooms who want smaller squares or diamonds, particularly on ponies and smaller horses where a wide comb would look out of proportion.
Quarter marks are a finishing touch for showing, dressage, pony club and general smart turnout. Because this comb is narrow, the pattern scales down neatly, and the even tooth spacing makes it easy to repeat the same design on both sides.

FAQ
What size are the quarter marks this comb makes?
The comb is 2.2 cm wide with 18 teeth, so it produces narrow marks and smaller squares or diamonds than a standard-width comb.
Is it suitable for ponies?
Yes. The compact design is intended for accurate markings on smaller horses and ponies, where a wider comb can make the pattern look oversized.
Do I need to wet the coat first?
Lightly damping the coat helps the hair hold the mark and gives a cleaner, sharper line. A dry coat tends to fall back into place.
Can I use it on a clipped horse?
It works best where there is enough coat to hold a mark. Very short clipped coats will hold marks less clearly than a natural summer or winter coat.
Where is it made?
The Smart Grooming Narrow Quarter Marking Comb is made in the UK.
How do I look after the comb?
Rinse after use, remove hair and grooming product, then dry and store flat so the teeth stay straight.
