"So here's another one of my favorite grooming tools, the Grooming Mitt. What I like about this so much is that the rubber is very thin and flexible on it. It has nice little bumps on it for getting the, loosening up their fur, loosening up the scurf and dandruff on your horse but the best part is that it really is so flexible so that as I'm working on a horse with this I can really feel what's going on underneath, under my hand. So when you're using this and again you can use this on the horse's face, if you're careful with how much pressure you're applying. You can use it on their cheeks. You can use it all down their neck, on their shoulders, in a circular sort of a motion. It's great when you're giving your horse a bath to be able to scrub the soap in. Down their hind legs and you can use this pretty safely on their legs. The knobs are not that tough. They're not going to hurt your horse. Just be careful and let your horse tell you what they like and don't like. You don't want to be applying too much pressure if they're telling you to back off."
