Description: | The curry comb has a flat metal head, enamelled black, comprising four horizontal bars, three vertical bars - the centre one of which attaches directly into the handle, and two semicircular pieces, one at each end, which protrude slightly over the edges. There are eight rows of teeth on the underside. The handle is of turned wood and is also black. Curry combs are used in the first stage of grooming a horse. They remove mud and loose hair from the body and stimulate the production of natural oils.
