Hairy Pony is still taking the equestrian world by storm and at Hewitt & Whitty Saddlery we just LOVE these Aussie made grooming products. The innovated designs have created a high demand and trust us when we say these are pretty much all we use on our own horses! These are our Top 5 Hairy Pony Winter Grooming Products
1. Hairy Pony Mud Brush
This mud brush is one of the best on the market for removing all the dirt and mud from your horse’s coat. Use this one to remove the top layer of dirt before going over the coat again with the Hairy Pony Copper Bristle Brush. The bristle are tough enough to get the dirty work done, but not too tough for your horses coat- and believe it or not my cat loves to be brushed with it too!
Like all Hairy Pony brushes, the Mud brush has the iconic beechwood back and padded handle. Its small enough to fit in your hand comfortably and get into those hard to reach places (under the tummy and inside the legs).
This one is a must have for Winter.
2. Hairy Pony Hair Repair
We all know that manes can get a bit musty under those heavy winter rugs, enter the Hairy Pony Hair Repair. Think of this as conditioner treatment for your horse!
Formulated to deeply nourish dehydrated and damaged hair, just work though a towel dried mane or tail, leave in for 10 to 20 minutes then rinse. Like a spa treatment for your Horse.
Too keep that silky smooth look all winter we recommend use every few weeks.
3. Hairy Pony Essential Coat Oil
This one is so popular we regular sell out! The Hairy Pony Essential Coat Oil can be used as an everyday spray or as a hot oil treatment. Especially useful at clipping time! The essential oils deeply penetrate the hair follicles and nourish your horse’s coat. Anti fungal properties will help dry, rough and itchy skin- great for horses spending all their time in heavy winter rugs.
Don’t forget to check out the New Aussie Coat Oil too – this one has insect repellent properties.
Just add to a spray bottle or bucket of water and presto, shiny healthy coat. And the smell is divine and its 100% Aussie made.
4. Hairy Pony Eco Friendly Shampoo Bars
I always have one of these in my grooming box! If you have to wash your horse in the winter weather, this is a fast way to do it. Just wet your horse enough to get some suds going and the shampoo bar will do the rest. No mucking around with hoses, buckets and cold water. Just wet, wash and rinse.
These Shampoo Bars come in four great fragrances (they all smell so good, it’s hard to pick a favourite) and contain essential oils with anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties encouraging a healthy winter coat. There is also a purple toner option for those with grey horses.
5. Hairy Pony Metal Brush
The Hairy Pony Metal Brush is a great addition to your grooming kit. The metal teeth easily removes dirt, mud and loose hair from yours horses coat – picture the muddiest Shetland complete with twigs in its mane!
With the beech wood back and padded handle this metal curry comb is also a useful tool to get hair out of your other grooming brushes!
Who do however recommend that for horses with thinner more sensitive coats try the Hairy Pony Rubber Brush.
