HorseGuard Palmpad Sponge

Every grooming kit needs a good sponge, and the HorseGuard Palmpad Sponge is the kind you reach for daily. Sized to sit comfortably in your palm, it is handy for wiping eyes and noses, sponging off sweat marks after a ride, and working shampoo through a coat on bath day. It comes from HorseGuard's line of imported European tack and stable goods.

• Palm-sized grooming sponge
• Colours: blue, pink, red

Pick a different colour for each job, one for the face, one for the body, one for under the tail, so sponges never get mixed up between horses or tasks. Rinse it well after use and let it dry before it goes back in the grooming tote.
