Grooming & Care

The horse grooming is far more than a hygiene routine — it's a precious moment of observation, care and connection between rider and horse. With the right equipment, this daily ritual becomes a pleasure and directly supports the horse's health and the longevity of your kit. The grooming and care OHLALA Sellerie brings together all the tools and products you need — from brushes to clippers, along with leather care and equipment maintenance essentials.

Grooming: a daily ritual at the heart of the horse-rider bond

Brushes, curry combs and grooming mitts: the essential grooming tools

The horse grooming always starts with the same fundamentals. Thecurry comb lifts dead hair and ingrained dirt from the coat; the grooming mitt — whether classic or ergonomic like those from the brand Borstiq Farm — collects the lifted dirt and polishes the coat. The soft brush adds shine and softens the coat on sensitive areas (head, legs). The multi-purpose brush Hippotonic, valued for its versatility, combines multiple textures for a quick and effective groom. The mane and tail brush and the comb gently detangle mane and tail without breaking the hair.

Grooming gloves, hoof picks and combs: completing your grooming kit

The grooming glove is used directly on the coat for a gentle massage and light detangling. Brands Hippotonic and Grooming Deluxe offer models in various textures depending on the desired effect: exfoliation, shine or simple cleaning. The hoof pick is the ultimate safety tool: cleaning hooves before and after every session prevents thrush and helps detect any foreign object or early sign of lameness.

Bags, trunks and grooming organisation

Trunks and organisers: a place for everything

Good organisation of your grooming equipment starts with the right container. The grooming trunks in bamboo — such as those offered by Grooming Deluxe — combining style and practicality: removable compartments, gold-tone closures, lightweight and moisture-resistant. The grooming bags on wheels or carry-style bags make it easy to move from one stall to another. Some organisers hook directly onto the tie ring, keeping every tool within reach during grooming.

Plaiting: perfecting your horse's presentation

The horse plaiting is the art of preparing mane and tail for competition. The collection offers everything you need: plaiting needles, elastics in colour, waxed threads, plaiting combs, plaiting sprays to help grip the mane and ribbons for the finishing touches. A neat plait enhances the horse's presentation in the arena and reflects the care put into preparation.

Clipping and finishing: the clipper at the service of your horse's comfort

Choosing your clipper: full-body or finishing

The horse clipper is essential for horses clipped in winter or for disciplines requiring a polished finish on the legs and nose. The full-body clippers handle large areas — body, neck, flanks — with wide, powerful blades. The finishing clippers, more compact and quiet, are used around the ears, nose and pasterns for a neat, precise finish. Blade maintenance — regular oiling with clipper oils — ensures a clean cut and extends the life of the device.

Equipment care: leather, rugs, helmets and boots

Greases, oils and soaps: caring for leather

Theleather care is a craft in its own right in saddlery. The leather greases and balms deeply nourish and waterproof saddles, bridles and headcollars. The leather oils soften new pieces and restore dry leather. The leather soaps clean without stripping, while the polishes and shoe creams give a brilliant finish to boots and bridle pieces for competition.

Caring for rugs, helmets, boots and boots

Every piece of equipment has its own care requirements. The rug care products include protective laundry bags and wash balls, as well as a rug brush for everyday cleaning. Thehelmet care involves gently cleaning the shell and lining with suitable products. The boots and boots in leather should be treated like saddlery; synthetic versions can be cleaned with a sponge and products designed for synthetic leather.
