The Smart Tails Professional Range is a wooden-handle thinning rake designed to deliver a show ring–level tail finish in minutes with minimal discomfort to the horse. Its replaceable blades and precise tuning options let you tailor the look to thick or thin tails while maintaining steady, controlled thinning. Blade options: Interchangeable blades offer Medium or Coarse for a tidy, natural finish, or Fine and Super Fine for a closer look. A medium finish may be needed initially if the tail is very thick. Material and construction: Sturdy wooden handle paired with a thinning rake design provides a comfortable grip and reliable control during thinning and shaping. Maintenance and versatility: Blades can be replaced or swapped as needed, extending the tool's life and allowing quick adaptation to different coats and grooming styles. Application technique: For best results, work evenly down the sides starting at the top, blending into a tapered finish toward the end of the dock to achieve a natural, clean line. Finish expectations: Choose the blade set to match the desired outcome—from a tidy natural look to a closer, more refined finish—while preserving tail integrity and comfort for the horse. Care tips: Dampen the tail and use a tail bandage for about an hour to smooth the hair and help set the finish for a polished, uniform appearance.
