A comb or brush made specifically for a horses hair. The mane, which runs along the neck and their tail. A variety of different mane and tail combs are sold in tack shops and catalogs. It is not necessary to purchase one that is made just for horses, especially if it is more expensive. A comb or brush that is made for people will do exactly the same job. Just be sure to purchase one that is heavy plastic or wood. Make sure to buy one that has teeth or bristles that are far apart and if it is a brush, try to buy one that has rubber tipped bristles. You can save quite a bit of money for a product that will do the exact same job.

How do you keep twigs out of horses mane?
The best way to keep twigs, dirt, hay and snarls out of a horse's mane (and tail) is to comb it out every day. You can use a spray-on detangler to make it easier and prevent breaking the hairs from pulling. If the horse's mane is very long it can be braided.

How do you get your horses mane and tail long and thick?
if u want it for a show u can put a fake tail in. Or you could wash and condition it. After it looks really nice. And after its dry brush it out. Good nutrition and keeping them clean.... Use a stiff bristled brush not a mane and tail comb. Keep tail in a tail bag or plaited with those material things (name escapes me ATM). Keep mane loosely braided. This stops hair breaking. Obviously you need to regularly take them out and brush etc.
