cattle comb is great, use it reasonably gently, or you could use a rubber oval curry comb in a circular motion - I use both these as they collect the hair quite well and you don't end up covered in hair!!

I use the scratchy coal too although you have to be careful not to cut into the summer coat when it starts to show....dont like the sulphur smell though .....  I originally used them to get off bot eggs, think they used to be called bot egg stones.. |

The New forest and the Dales have started, when I went down to do my bit FM was clipped so is not to bad. Roll on summer, with sleek shining ponies.
