How do you store your grooming kit?

[Poingsettia]

I’ve always preferred a grooming bag with a carry strap, but have had both the open tray style and rigid “toolbox” in the past.

What’s your preference?

The best solution I've found in a wicker basket. I keep one in the horsebox with a hinged lid and a handle and it's ideal - the best thing is that the hair and dirt that always accumulates at the bottom of grooming kits just drops out through the holes so it always looks tidy! I have been looking for a second one of the right size to use on the yard (I have a bag at the moment), I am too stingy to buy a new one so have been looking in charity shops etc.

Just a grooming bag with a zip up top. Althpugh the zip always gets busted by the pony so brushes always get covered in hay and such like

Mine just rest on the walls

In old brewer's yeast tubs

I would love to say all neat in a designed for bag/ box but usually the bits I use regularly are on the floor outside the stable i last used them
In

Rigid toolbox style from Decathalon, it was the first thing I put my married initials on!

Although to be fair I usually leave brushes lying around in various locations!

The non destructive one has a proper zipped grooming kit bag hanging in his stable. The other one has a £1 Tesco bag in his.

Metal toolbox style, not too big, designed for gardening. Picked up for £5 in a Wilko's sale. It doesn't fit everything but it has the things I use everyday and fly spray.

Just in a trug bucket, with spare brushes etc in a box in my feed room. It doesn’t leave the yard so doesn’t need to be fancy.

My FIL bought me one of the le mieux grooming bags for my birthday last year. It’s lovely and fits everything inside. I have a box style one for my show grooming kit that I take with me to competitions

A plastic tool box with a lid and Louis is in the food waste bin that the council left for food waste collection which I don't use.

 

[poiuytrewq]

I’ve got bags hanging in the stables, but much of the time on ledges!

 

[Surbie]

I've got one of those boxes you can stand on - horse thankfully isn't destructive so I can keep all sorts tucked near his water and he doesn't fling it about. It's a handy seat for just hanging around with him.

I have tried trays, plastic boxes and bags but currently have a Le Mieux bag like @Love and it is very good. The handles Velcro together so stops hair and hay getting in. I keep it hung on a high hook in the stable.

 

[supertramp]

I have a shopping basket from a supermarket, and a cover to keep hay etc out, the holes in the shopping basket let stray hair, dust just fall through

 

[Abacus]

I have a cheap little set of plastic drawers (3 drawers) which is good for keeping out some dust and separating into the main everyday stuff (top drawer), slightly less regular use (mane combs and rakes, scissors, etc) and I. The bottom drawer fly sprays and mane sprays etc. it’s not portable exactly bit as the yard is small it’s not far to walk and get what I need. I’ve found the bags get mucky and dusty, and trays full of hay and hair.

Clever idea

I have a trunk in the stable which has it in but rarely groom my horses so don't use many bits of it.

Clever idea

Some very nice waterproof covers on Etsy

I love your natural, organic grooming box @nagblagger

I was bought a Someh grooming bag for Christmas 2019 and it’s still going strong - they are very robust!

 

[SussexbytheXmasTree]

I’ve got a Keter square shaped tool box which I’ve have over 20 years. The lid doesn’t clip shut as it’s broken. It’s very solid and can be used to sit on or as a small mounting block. I wish they still made them and I’ve never found anything I like as much and resent paying a lot of money for a flimsy equestrian brand.

 

[Cragrat]

Each horse has his own brushes/curry comb and hoof pick on ledges in his stable, and other bits and pieces float from stable to stable as needed.

 

[Jambarissa]

I like proper organisation. I have tried many bags and boxes and I like a big proper grooming kit box with partition for spray and a lift out tray for the little bits.

 

[scats]

The girls have their proper grooming kits in those big plastic grooming boxes you can buy.
They also have those stable tidy wall things in their stables that I store a second grooming kit for each for grabbing quickly/brushing them off before and after work. I swear by these things, it makes life so much easier.

I also have a competition grooming kit that lives in the wagon, again in one of those big plastic tubs.

 

[santas_spotty_pony]

Mine is in a drawer in a chest of drawers in the tack room and I just take out what I need.

 

[4Hoofed]

On the walls.. random surfaces… mounting blocks. Honestly I’m a nightmare, but before the weekend I try herd them up as I pretty much have the yard to myself the rest of the week. I do have a big toolkit on wheels that can be stood on which is my official grooming kit.

Old Horse has a triangular plastic feed manger fixed to the wall on the left-hand side corner of his stable. One of the grooms kindly made a bright green stretchy cover for it, and all his grooming kit is in there.
