- Rinse the scraper, shake off water and air dry before returning it to the grooming kit.
FAQ
What is a sweat scraper used for? It removes excess water and sweat from the coat after bathing or exercise, so the horse dries faster and is less likely to get chilled.
How long is this scraper? It measures approximately 67 cm, long enough to cover the neck, barrel and quarters in few strokes.
Will it rust if left damp? The blade is made from rustfree metal, though rinsing and air drying after use is still recommended for the longest life.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses? Yes. It works well on horses, cobs and larger ponies; on very small ponies the 67 cm blade may feel long, so use shorter strokes.
Can it be used on the legs and face? No. Keep the scraper to fleshy areas of the body and use a sponge or towel on the face, legs and over bony areas.
How should I clean and store it? Rinse after use, wipe the soft touch handles and allow it to dry before storage. Replace the scraper if the blade edge becomes chipped or rough.
