Curry comb collector

[PaulaO]

I cleaned out Bob's grooming tote. He had SIX curry combs. One jelly scrubber, THREE jelly curries, a flower curry, and a hard plastic curry. I know Miss A. likes none of those, so after washing them I donated them to the school horses. I cleaned Ariel's grooming tote. She had FOUR curries, and tolerated none. One jelly scrubber, one jelly curry, a rubber pimple glove, and a plastic curry (that one was acceptable to her to take crusted mud off). I bought the HandsOn gloves a few weeks ago and those she likes.

TEN CURRIES. Ridiculous. My brush tote is so light now and I can actually find the hoof pick....

[Moutaineer]

Whereas mine just hate the HandsOn gloves unless they have deep midwinter coats on. We do better with gentle use of the metal curry for breaking up caked on mud.

I have a ton of sad-looking brushes that I need to weed through. Some critter got at the ones in the garage and munched off an angled side on a lot of them. I really need to make the time to sort them all out.

[StraightForward]

Not that you need another, but my trainer was singing the praises of this one https://www.chewy.com/oster-equine-care ... lsrc=aw.ds and once I used it, I ran out and bought one. The between the fingers grip is a way better design, it's soft enough to use on legs but still breaks up most mud. I got the Hands On gloves but don't find myself using them since I can't just grab them and whisk away some mud then switch brushes as quickly.

Maybe we should find a worthy equine therapy barn or other non-profit barn, gather up all our no-longer-used-but-still-useful grooming tools and put together a big 'ol DDBB Christmas box for this year I have a little batch of grooming stuff stored away that I'd be happy to re-home to a worthy cause.

Good idea. Anybody know of a place?

[TR_Teacher]

I teach at a therapeutic riding center in Michigan. We love different curries and brushes to help our students with different abilities groom their horses. I'd be happy to pay postage & facilitate a donation. Our center is a non profit.

[PaulaO]

Thank you TRTeacher. Would you PM m your mailing info? I will be happy to mail you clean, but used, grooming supplies. I will cover my postage but thanks for the offer.

[TR_Teacher]

PM sent! Thank you so very much!!

[texsuze]

Another request for mailing info from TR Teacher, please. If you don't mind PM'ing me, too. Is there other equipment/tack your facility is needing? I probably have some extra items to re-home.

[TR_Teacher]

And another PM sent! You are all so very generous! Thank you!!

[PaulaO]

I discovered yet another curry comb, so you will be getting five.

[Hayburner]

I would be afraid to count how many different kind of curry combs I have.

I LOVE my hands on gloves - so much so that I have 4 pair ! For only 2 horses and 1 of the 2 gets infrequent grooming sessions.

I have one of the oster ones that Straightforward posted about and never use it.

I have the rubber, metal, small rubber, and recently added 2 Haas hard as a rock large curry's. My horses seem to LOVE the Haas ones. The rest will need to be trashed or sent off to TR teacher.

I think it's time for me to clean out my grooming boxes too!

TR you can PM me too, not sure when I'll get around to the cleaning, but when I do you get my excess....

[PaulaO]

TR, I sent the package today via Priorty Mail. Let me know when you get it.

[TR_Teacher]

Thank you PaulaO!! I'll let you know when they arrive!

[TR_Teacher]

A huge shout-out and thank you to PaulaO! I'm running the goodies out to our program right now--so they can be put to use for summer camp!! The generosity of this board never ceases to amaze me!

[texsuze]

Another 'care package' coming your way; should arrive tomorrow (Fri)! PM me if you don't get the box by early next week

[TR_Teacher]

And another huge THANK YOU to Texsuze!!
