Firstly, I’m an old school type person. “If it ain’t broke, dont fix it” kinda gal. Ive *always used curry combs to shed out my horses, and it’s worked fine for me for decades. With that being said, this is the FIRST shedding season in my LIFE that I have used an actual “grooming tool”, and the Equigroomer is now a MUST in my grooming bag! Easy to use, it requires little to no pressure or effort when using, and doesnt snag or pull on my horses skin or fur. It’s gentle AND majorly effective. It gets the fur, dead skin and dirt from underneath, and leaves my horses’ coats shiny and soft with regular use! Goodbye curry comb and hello EquiGroomer! 5 stars!!
