Description
Smart Grooming Smart Tails Easi-Grip Tail Trimmer
The Smart Grooming Smart Tails Easi-Grip Range is a horse tail trimming tool with replaceable blades, designed to deliver a show-ring finish in minutes with minimal discomfort to the horse. It is best for grooms, showing producers and competition riders who want a neatly tapered dock without pulling the tail by hand.
Because the blades can be swapped, one tool covers everything from a tidy, natural outline on a thick native tail to a very close, sculpted finish on a fine-tailed sport horse. You can browse more horse grooming products to complete your turnout kit.

How to Use
- Dampen the tail and apply a tail bandage for about an hour so the hair lies smooth.
- Remove the bandage and select a blade to suit the tail thickness and finish you want.
- Starting at the top of the dock, work evenly down one side, then repeat on the other.
- Blend the trimmed area into a tapered shape towards the end of the dock for a seamless transition.
- Step back and check the tail from directly behind to confirm both sides match.
- Wipe the tool clean and dry after use, and store blades safely out of reach of children.
FAQ
What does the Smart Tails Easi-Grip tool do?
It trims and thins a horse's tail using replaceable blades, shaping the sides of the dock into a tidy, tapered finish for the show ring in a few minutes.
Which blade should I choose?
Medium or Coarse blades give a tidy, natural finish. Fine or Super Fine blades give a closer finish. On a very thick tail, start with a Medium blade first.
Is it uncomfortable for the horse?
The tool is designed to shape the tail with minimal discomfort, unlike hand pulling. Work calmly, in short passes, and stop if your horse becomes unsettled.
Do I need to prepare the tail first?
Yes, for the best result. Dampen the tail and bandage it for around an hour before trimming so the hair lies flat and the blade cuts evenly.
Can I use it on ponies and cobs?
Yes. It suits horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods; simply choose a coarser blade for thicker native-type tails.
How should I look after the tool?
Wipe it clean and dry after each use, replace blades when they lose their edge, and store the tool and spare blades safely as they contain sharp edges.
