Waldhausen Circular Curry Comb for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Circular Curry Comb — Shift Loose Hair and Clotted Coat
The Waldhausen Circular Curry Comb is a round horse grooming tool fitted with four stainless steel rings in two different strengths and a plastic handle. It is best for owners who need to lift loose hair during the change of coat, or break up clotted, mud-caked coat before brushing out.
Because the rings come in two strengths, one comb handles both lighter passes and firmer work on stubborn dirt — useful on a yard where horses come in muddy from turnout. It works as a first-stage tool in any grooming routine, raising dirt and dead hair to the surface so a body brush can sweep it away.

- Circular head suited to the small circular strokes used in currying

FAQ
What is a circular curry comb used for?
It is used in circular strokes to loosen dead hair, dried mud and clotted coat so they can be brushed off with a body or dandy brush. It is not intended for the legs or face.
Why does it have rings in two different strengths?
The two strengths let you choose a gentler action over sensitive or thinner-skinned areas and a firmer action on heavily matted or muddy patches, without needing a second tool.
Is it suitable for moulting horses?
Yes. It is designed for use during the change of coat, when horses shed heavily and loose hair needs lifting out of the coat regularly.
Can I use it on ponies and youngsters?
Yes, on horses, ponies and cobs alike. With youngsters or sensitive types, start with light pressure and watch the horse's reaction before working more firmly.
How do I clean and care for it?
Knock out the trapped hair after each use, rinse in clean water if it becomes muddy, and allow it to dry fully before storing. Replace the comb if a ring becomes bent, loose or damaged.
Can it be used on a wet or clipped coat?
It is most effective on a dry coat. On a clipped horse, use light pressure only, as there is less coat to cushion the rings.
