Smart Grooming Quilted Grooming Mitt for Horses
Description
Smart Grooming Quilted Grooming Mitt - High-Shine Coat Finish
The Smart Grooming Quilted Grooming Mitt is a hand-held buffing mitt with a plush faux fur surface, used to polish a horse's coat to a high shine after brushing. It is best for riders who want a professional finish for daily grooming or quick show-day touch-ups, and it suits all coat types on horses, ponies and cobs.
Unlike a stiff brush, the mitt buffs rather than scrubs, smoothing the hair and lifting surface dust while the quilted cotton backing keeps your hand comfortable and in control.

FAQ
What does a grooming mitt actually do?
It buffs the coat rather than scrubbing it. The faux fur pad smooths the hair, lifts surface dust and spreads coat sprays evenly for a glossy, finished look.
Can I use it without a coat spray?
Yes. Used dry it lifts dust and smooths the coat after brushing. Adding a coat sheen or super shine spray gives a deeper shine.
Is one size suitable for all users?
The mitt is a single one-size hand mitt with a quilted backing, designed to sit comfortably against the palm for most adult and older junior hands.
Will it suit a clipped or a woolly winter coat?
It is designed for all coat types. It gives the most visible shine on a short or clipped summer coat, and still helps smooth and dust off a thicker winter coat.
How do I clean the mitt?
Shake or brush out trapped hair and dust after each use and let it air dry fully. Keeping the faux fur free of grease helps maintain the buffing action.
Can I use it on the face and legs?
Use it carefully on flatter areas such as the cheek and forearm, working gently and avoiding bony points and the eyes.
