Do you have different grooming kits?

Not only they don't have each their set but I tend to use just one brush for everyone, right now it's the metal curry comb with rings because it works well on mud and winter coat.

For different horses? I had 2 sets a few years ago, when I had another pony on loan, but have had a clear out since. I've now just got one of everything, except magic brushes and hoof picks, all chucked in a bucket. I feel as though they each should have their own, but I'd never bother to swap around, and I can only groom one at a time.

yes but rarely groom my horses as don't get the time.
 
I’ve got one horse and three grooming kits. One with competing stuff that lives in the lorry. One with Haas brushes for a good groom. One for daily use with basics, tiger tongue and haas rubber curry comb as main brushes.
 
I have an everyday grooming kit which served both of mine although I did have two of some things as when I had sharers and we were riding together it was more efficient if we both wanted a dandy brush etc at the same time. I do have a posh kit of Haas brushes for showing prep which is kept clean and separate.
 
Yes it's the first thing I got my new pony.
They get grooming kit on their colour - grey Highland has everything purple, bay New Forest in red and bay Arab in sky blue.

Grooming kit, headcollar, lead rope, feed buckets, numnah.

Grey and bay don't mix well when grooming and end up with hairs transferring.

I've got a separate competition grooming kit.

Ponies share hoof picks, metal brush when molting and tail brush
 
When I first bought baby horse I had the greatest of intentions of maintaining 2 grooming kits. Never happened 😂
I expect as baby horse grows up I will need to get a new set of brushes or let’s be real just clean and split the many brushes I’ve already got.
Only because baby horse is Grey and getting lighter by the week and pony is black.
I also need to wash my brushes… soon.
 
No. We have a bucket full of enough brushes for everyone to use one at once… but nothing is separate. No point when the ponies live together and groom each other in the field.
 
I feel very unorganised reading this thread.

I have a mix of odd brushes which I use as my everyday kits. Some of this is probably over 30yrs old and from my parents stud. I noticed the bristles are so brittle on my favourite body brush that they are all starting to snap off when I use it now. Some have my dads name on from when the stud dispersed and he put the old boys on a livery yard. It's all very miss matched but has great sentimental value to me.
Hoof pick's usually hang all over the place for a quick pick out in the field.
Then i have a nice clean set for showing and a bathing set in a different box with all my lotions and potions.

I have a friend with 2 (she used to have 3) who each have a 'stables' kit and a 'lorry' kit. All rather expensive and all kept immaculately clean. I used to kick myself I wasn't more like that, but I've got over it now. My ponies are still happy with hand me downs and I still win frillies with mismatched grooming stuff.
