This is my favorite hoof pick, some people like the ones with the brush attached but those hurt my hands. This one get the job done without hurting my hand

This is my first shedding season where I have used this tool. I can't believe I went years without using a proper deshedding tool. I can't recommend this tool enough
SleekEZ Wood Handle Horse/Large Animal Grooming Tool
I really like using just really cheap hair brushes for the mane and tail instead of really expensive “equine” brushes. I don't think those work as well

Another favorite of mine are these little elastic hair ties. They work very well for braiding the mane and tail

A good soft bristled brush is also a must, this one fits in your hand comfortably and with last a long time!

I had this fly spray (and detangler) gifted to me one year. Never heard of it before, it is a toxic free spray which is a huge bonus. This fly spray and detangler work very well

Hear me out! These are the best clippers out there. They work so well for body clipping (yes body clipping) and for just cleaning up your horse for shows. i.e legs, whiskers, bridle path, or ears
Wahl Color Pro Plus Haircut Kit, Power-Drive , Corded - 79752T
I know this one is a little out there but stick with me. Coconut oil is the best hoof oil there is! I started using it on the show horses I was taking care of and the farrier noticed a big difference in the health of the hoofs, since then I haven't u...

When it comes to bathing horses I love cheap shampoo and conditioner, I have used it on many show horses just before a big show or for just a general bath. It smells great and does a wonderful job on the horses coat
