Waldhausen Lambskin Merino Wool Grooming Glove
Description
Waldhausen Lambskin Grooming Glove - Real Merino Wool Coat Shine Mitt
The Waldhausen Lambskin Grooming Glove is a hand-worn grooming mitt made from high quality real merino wool, used to lift dust from a horse's coat and bring up a natural gleam. It is best for riders who want a soft finishing tool for daily grooming, sensitive areas such as the face and legs, and final preparation before schooling, hacking or competing.
An elasticated cuff keeps the glove secure on the hand, so you can work quickly over the whole horse without it slipping. Use it after your brushes, once mud and heavy dirt have been removed, to leave a clean, polished coat.
Key Features
- Real merino wool pile - soft, natural fibre that traps dust and loose hair rather than pushing it around
- Dust-free, gleaming finish - works the coat's natural oils through the hair for a healthy shine
- Elasticated cuff - holds the mitt close to the wrist for a secure, comfortable fit
- Kind to sensitive areas - suitable for the face, ears, legs and belly where stiff bristles can be too harsh
- Show and yard ready - ideal for last-minute tidy-ups and for clipped or fine-coated horses
- Easy to care for - shake out after use and hand wash when needed

FAQ
What is a lambskin grooming glove used for?
It is a finishing tool. Worn on the hand, the merino wool pile lifts surface dust and loose hair from the coat and distributes natural oils, leaving a smooth, gleaming finish after your usual brushes.
Will it fit my hand?
The glove is a generous one-size mitt with an elasticated cuff, so it fits over most adult and older junior hands. It is worn loosely like a mitt rather than fitted like a riding glove, so it can be shared around the yard.
Can I use it on a sensitive horse?
Yes. Real merino wool is much softer than plastic or stiff natural bristles, which makes it a good choice for thin-skinned, clipped or ticklish horses and for areas like the face and legs.
Does it remove mud?
No. It is not a substitute for a curry comb or dandy brush. Remove caked mud first, then use the glove for the dust-free finish.
How do I wash it?
Shake it out after each use to release dust and hair. When it needs a proper clean, hand wash in cool water with a mild wool-safe detergent, reshape and dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as heat can shrink and harden the wool.
Can I use it on dogs as well as horses?
The soft wool pile works well as a finishing mitt on short-coated dogs too, though it is designed first and foremost as a horse grooming tool.
