Special: Feather Razor + a set of 10 spare special blades

(the copper cover in the left photo is just a safety cover)

This special Feather Razor (TM), ideal for plucking and preparing feather-legged horses such as Shires and Clydesdales.

The special thinning blades d have a reputation as being the worlds longest lasting blades. They do a terrific 'non razored' looking job.

This deal with 11 blades is enough to last a good many many years of plucking and preparing horse feather!

Made with three thicknesses of webbing, overall 38mm ( inch and a half) wide, these halters have just one buckle, and comfortably fit the cheeks, jawbone or jowels.

There is no 'squeezing' your horse into these like with the common cheapy Chinese halters that are about in saddlery stores.

(Note:
mare & foal not included!)

Absolutely perfect for almost imperceptibly thinning out excess hair in the tails before plaiting them up for a show.

They are decptive to look at, and they work wonderfully. They work well for thinning manes also.

They are not readily available in Australia, except here.

If you have not tried one of these, you'll never know what you or your horse is missing out on!

Six hoops with serrations on both sides enable you to rotate them so the longer or shorter ones are down.

The cylindrical shape moulds perfectly to the horse's body and muscles, and the six rings massage the horse and strip moulting hair out very efficiently. It is no longer a chore!

They are not readily available in Australia, except here.
