Protect Your Show Horse's Hair While You Groom

If you've ever pulled a traditional rubber band out of a braid only to watch strands snap off with it, you know the cost of cheap grooming supplies. This Professional's Choice Grooming Kit Bundle pairs their signature Slick Bands (400 count) with the Rainbow Paddle Brush and Deluxe Hoof Pick — three tools built to preserve hair integrity while streamlining your pre-show routine. The Slick Bands won't dry out or rot, the brush detangles without thinning, and the hoof pick removes packed debris without hand fatigue.

Trusted by Hunter, Dressage, and Western Pleasure competitors, this kit focuses on what matters most: maintaining mane and tail fullness, distributing natural oils for shine, and securing braids that stay put under saddle. The Rainbow Brush's unique bristle geometry lifts hair as it detangles, so you keep the volume judges expect. Meanwhile, the ergonomic hoof pick is reinforced for years of hard use — no more bent tips mid-clean.

Why Riders Choose This Grooming Kit

• Zero hair breakage from bands — Slick Bands glide on and off without snagging, eliminating the split ends and snapping common with standard rubber bands.
• Maintains tail fullness for the show ring — Rainbow Paddle Brush detangles tough knots while lifting hair, preserving the natural volume competitors need.
• Distributes oils for a natural shine — Specialized bristle pattern moves coat oils from root to tip, creating the healthy glow judges notice.
• Heavy-duty hoof pick that won't bend — Reinforced metal pick and comfort-grip handle remove packed rocks and mud with minimal hand strain.
• Bands that stay elastic through the season — High-quality material resists drying and cracking, so your braids hold through warm-ups and classes.
• Organized and show-day ready — 400 multi-colored bands come in a resealable bag; entire kit travels clean in your grooming tote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the 400-count Slick Bands work for thick show tails?

These mane-sized bands are ideal for manes and average tails. If you're braiding an exceptionally thick or heavy tail for Dressage or Hunter turnout, consider stepping up to Professional's Choice Large Bands for extra hold without risk of snapping.

Q: How does the Rainbow Brush differ from a standard mane and tail comb?

The Rainbow Paddle Brush uses a unique bristle design that detangles while lifting the hair — it doesn't flatten or thin like traditional combs. That means you maintain the natural fullness and volume judges expect in show tails, rather than ending up with a limp, over-brushed look.

Q: Can I use the Deluxe Hoof Pick on frozen or packed mud?

Yes. The reinforced metal pick and ergonomic handle give you the leverage to chip out stubborn debris, frozen footing, or gravel without bending the tool. It's built for daily barn work, not just occasional light cleaning.
