Horse Plaiting & Mane Pulling Tools
Horse Plaiting & Mane Pulling Tools: Competition-Ready Plaits & a Neat, Tidy Mane
A well-plaited mane is one of the hallmarks of a properly turned-out competition horse — and achieving tight, even, professional-looking plaits consistently is a skill that the right tools make significantly easier. Whether you're plaiting for a dressage test, a showing class, or a hunter trial, the quality of your plaits contributes to the overall impression of a well-presented combination, and having the right needles, thread, bands, and aids to hand makes the difference between a plaiting session that goes smoothly and one that doesn't. The same applies to mane pulling and thinning — the right comb and technique produce a neat, even mane that lies flat and looks tidy between shows without the uneven results that the wrong tools can cause.
At Horseworld, we stock a range of horse plaiting and mane pulling tools to suit different plaiting styles, mane types, and levels of experience. From plaiting needles, thread, and rubber bands to mane combs, pulling combs, and plaiting aids, our range covers everything you need to achieve a neat, professional finish at home and at the showground.
Key tools and products in our plaiting and mane care range:

- Plaiting bands & aids — rubber bands and plaiting aids for banded plaits; quick and practical for everyday showing and disciplines where sewn plaits are not required
- Mane pulling combs — specialist combs designed for thinning and shortening the mane by pulling rather than cutting, producing a natural, even finish that lies flat
- Plaiting combs & sprays — fine-toothed combs for dividing the mane into even sections, and plaiting sprays that add grip and control for neater, tighter plaits
