How to Use

To pull a mane: Separate out a small section of mane (about 5-10 hairs). Back-comb the section to isolate the longest hairs at the bottom. Wrap these hairs around the comb or your fingers and pull quickly with a firm downward motion. This removes the longest hairs while leaving shorter ones, gradually thinning and evening the mane. Work on small sections at a time. For best results, pull manes after exercise when pores are open and hair releases more easily. To prepare for braiding: Use the comb's fine teeth to separate the mane into even sections and remove any uneven or excessively long hairs.

Care & Maintenance

Wipe clean after each use to remove hair and debris. Wash occasionally with warm soapy water if needed. Dry thoroughly to prevent spotting. Store in grooming kit or tack trunk.

Notes

Mane pulling can be uncomfortable for some horses. Work slowly and patiently, pulling only a few hairs at a time. Consider pulling over several sessions rather than all at once. Some horses tolerate pulling better after exercise or with a twitch. Alternative methods like mane thinning shears can be used for sensitive horses, though pulling typically provides more natural-looking results for show purposes.
