Smart Grooming Quarter Marking Spray for Horses
Description
Smart Grooming Quarter Marking Spray — Crisp, Long-Holding Quarter Marks
Smart Grooming Quarter Marking Spray is a water-based grooming spray that locks quarter marks and brush designs into a horse's coat with a crisp, professional finish and no sticky feel. It is made for showing producers, grooms and riders who want sharks teeth, diamonds and chequerboard patterns to survive rug changes, travelling and the walk to the ring.
The polymer film-forming formula dries quickly, leaves no residue and can be re-sprayed to strengthen a design, so it is best for show-day preparation, in-hand classes and smart everyday turnout. Browse more horse grooming products to complete your show kit.

- Easy application: spray liberally, shape with a comb, slicker or brush, then re-spray to set.
- Gentle, scented formula: Lavender Oil adds a mild, pleasant scent while supporting coat-friendly conditioning.

FAQ
What is quarter marking spray used for?
It is sprayed onto a horse's quarters before shaping patterns such as sharks teeth, diamonds or chequerboards. The formula forms a flexible film that holds the brushed design in place for showing and turnout.
Will it leave the coat sticky?
No. The spray dries cleanly to a non-sticky, residue-free finish, so markings stay neat without tackiness or transfer while you handle and rug the horse.
Do quarter marks survive a rug change?
The film-forming polymer formula is designed to keep quarter marks intact while you move rugs and carry on grooming, provided the spray has been allowed to dry first.
How long does it take to dry?
It is fast drying, so you can refine markings on the spot and re-spray for a stronger hold without a long wait between applications.
What does it smell like?
Lavender Oil gives a mild, pleasant scent while supporting coat-friendly conditioning.
Can I use it on a grey or dark horse?
Yes. The spray is clear and works on any coat colour; contrast comes from the direction the hair is brushed rather than from pigment in the product.
