V-Plast One-Hand Sweat Scraper for Horses
Description
V-Plast One-Hand Sweat Scraper - Faster Drying After Washing Off
The V-Plast Sweat Scraper is a one-hand grooming tool that pulls excess water and sweat from a horse's coat so it dries more quickly. It is best for anyone who regularly hoses down after schooling, hacking or competing, and the one-hand shape means you can keep hold of the headcollar or lead rope while you scrape.
A soft rubber edge and contoured body follow the horse's outline, giving a gentle but effective action over the neck, shoulder, barrel and quarters. Moulded in Sweden from PP and TPE, it measures 230 x 175mm and weighs just 91g, so it is light in wet hands and easy to store in a grooming box.
