Flat Wax Plaiting thread available in 7 colours to blend in with all shades and types of manes and tails. The flat wax plaiting thread is in 90 m reels with a 0.8 mm thickness. Coated with a thin layer of wax, not only does it make threading needles really easy - the thread just stays straight when threading up - it is also much stronger and gives more tension when plaiting, creating really nice firm plaits. This will make using cotton thread a thing of the past!

Smart Grooming’s Plaiting Apron is a neat, well made plaiting essential that will keep all your plaiting necessities in a handy place. It is made from hard wearing black cotton drill, with all pockets lined. A deep zipped pocket at the back gives plenty of room for larger items, ideal for packs of rubber bands, small sprays, and extra plaiting kit bits. Its even big enough to pop the horse’s passport in for safe-keeping. The two smaller pockets on the front have inner loops in the inside for keeping scissors upright or for storing needles, quick unpick and other items, and a small removable sponge on the inside of the other pocket to poke needles into for safe keeping. This Plaiting apron is an absolute gem, designed to keep everything you need in one place for plaiting. It is well finished, with a hard wearing brass zip, leather loops, and a brass D ring on the side to enable anything extra to be clipped onto it. This is not designed to hold large grooming brushes and trigger sprays, although a trigger spray can easily be hooked onto the side of the belt if needed. Measurements: 26cm wide x 20cm deep x 8cm gusset. The belt measures from 80cm at its shortest to 120cm at its longest.

Smart Tails Easi- Grip yellow handle range will give you the show ring finish in minutes with zero discomfort to your horse and safe for you to use too. It takes blades that are replaceable or interchangeable as needed. If you are looking for that smart professional “pulled” look or just want more definition and less bulk to the mane or tail, then choose from either coarse, medium, fine or super fine grades depending on the finish. Use evenly down the sides of the tail starting at the top and working down, blend into a tapered look towards the end of the dock. If you want a more natural finish and just looking tidy, choose a coarse or a medium grade. For a closer finish choose fine, although a medium may be needed to start with if the tail is very thick.
