Grooming Mitt for Horses & Special Brushes – Gentle, Thorough, Massaging
A good grooming mitt for horsesis more than just a nice extra in the grooming box – it's your best friend when the classic curry comb reaches its limits. Exactly for those areas that every curry comb misses: head, ears, fetlock, hock. And during coat changes, of course. Here you will find grooming mitts, massage brushes, and special brushes that your horse will truly enjoy.
Why a grooming mitt for horses belongs in every grooming kit
You know the drill: your horse is sensitive in some areas. It flinches its head, gets ticklish on its legs, and in spring, the undercoat flies through the stable in clouds. This is where grooming mitts and massage brushes show their strengths. You work directly with your hand, feel pressure and musculature, and can approach delicate areas without your horse protesting.
The massage effectis the second big plus. Soft rubber nubs loosen muscles, stimulate blood circulation, and remove loose hair and dander before you polish with the dandy brush. Many horses actually lean into the brush – a good sign.

Rubber, lambskin, or nubs – what suits your horse?
Does your horse have a thick winter coat, and are you in the middle of a coat change? Then there's no getting around a rubber nub mitt. For thin-skinned horses, thoroughbreds, or anxious candidates, you're better off with the softer lambskin or fine silicone nub variants. And for the final polish before the arena, the lambskin mitt is always the first choice.
In our assortment, you will find grooming mitts and brushes from Waldhausen, KERBL, Animalon, Covalliero, Grooming Deluxe, and other selected brands. If you are unsure which variant suits your horse – simply write to us in the chat, we will be happy to advise you.
Frequently asked questions about grooming mitts and special brushes
Why do I even need a grooming mitt for my horse?
For everything where the curry comb is too harsh: head, legs, sensitive areas. Also during coat changes, because the rubber nubs remove loose hair and undercoat more efficiently than a hard brush.
What's better – rubber or lambskin?
Both have their place. Rubber with nubs is the classic for thorough cleaning and massage. You use lambskin for a glossy finish and on the finest areas like under the eye.
How do I clean my grooming mitt?
Simply rinse rubber models with water or hand wash with mild soap. Lambskin variants can be machine washed at a low temperature depending on the manufacturer – check the care instructions on the label.
Can I also use the grooming mitt on ticklish horses?
Yes, and that's exactly what it's for. You can control the pressure much more finely with your hand than with any brush. Start with light, circular movements – most horses quickly find this relaxing.
