Shapley’s Super Tail Pick is a practical grooming tool designed to help remove tangles, knots and burrs from horses’ manes and tails while minimising unnecessary pulling and hair breakage.

The widely spaced teeth work through thick mane and tail hair, while the easy-to-hold handle provides control during grooming. It is particularly useful for working through small sections of hair gradually rather than pulling a brush through the entire tail.

Features:

• Designed for detangling horse manes and tails

• Widely spaced teeth work through thick hair

• Helps remove tangles, knots and burrs

• Allows controlled grooming in small sections

• Helps minimise unnecessary pulling and breakage

• Easy-to-hold handle

• Compact addition to the grooming kit

• Suitable for everyday grooming and show preparation

Directions for use:

Begin at the bottom of the mane or tail and work upwards gradually. Separate the hair into small sections and hold each section firmly above the area being detangled to reduce tension at the roots.

Work the pick gently through the ends before moving higher. Do not force it through tight knots or burrs. Apply a suitable horse mane and tail detangler first if additional slip is required.

Clean the pick after use and store it in a dry place.

Frequently asked questions:

What is the Shapley’s Super Tail Pick used for?

It is designed to help remove tangles, knots and burrs from horses’ manes and tails while reducing unnecessary pulling and hair breakage.

How should I detangle a horse’s tail?

Begin at the bottom and work upwards in small sections. Hold the hair above the section being detangled to reduce tension at the roots.

Can I use the Super Tail Pick with a detangling product?

Yes. Applying a suitable mane and tail detangler first may provide additional slip and make tight knots easier to work through.

Can it be used on both manes and tails?

Yes. Its widely spaced teeth are suitable for working through both mane and tail hair.

Will it prevent hair breakage?

Careful use may help minimise breakage compared with forcing a fine-tooth comb or brush through tangled hair. Always work slowly from the ends upwards and avoid pulling through tight knots.
