How the heck do you get hair off a nummnah?!

[Jesstickle]

I brushed them before I washed them, I put them in the machine, then in the tumble dryer and they are still hairy!

I use one of those rubber pimply things from Pets at Home which are for removing hair off furniture. It loosens it all up then I hoover it before washing in a bag and hanging out to dry. However I do have a particularly unhairy horse which I didn't fully appreciate until I groomed my friends cob the other day while she was on holiday - it looked like the yard was covered in snow!

Grooming stone/block. Little grey think a bit like a pumice stone does the job perfectly.
Lincoln do one for a few quid I think I got mine from equestrian clearance but have seen them in my local tack/feed store as well

Thanks guys. I will look into them. It drives me mad!

Stiff dandy brush or hoover!

Why had I not considered the hoover?!

And why does the confused smiley look like hitler now?!

quick hoover, bot stone or dandy brush (or if you're at home with no grooming brushes as has happened to me on many occasions) stand on one end and use a stiff broom, then other end!) to loosen the ones that are embedded... then hoover again. Taken me 25yrs to figure that one out.

My mum's dyson hoover has a special thing for removing pet hair. I used it on some of my old pony's rugs that I was putting up for sale. It's Fab! Although that's not very helpful advice if you don't have a dyson

Hoover, then a cat-brush (great for getting those last ones out).
Cat-brush also brings up the pile after washing fluffy numnahs

I've just come in from a ride and was going to machine wash mine - then I thought why not use the jet wash?
Works a treat, gets the grease out too. No need to put in the machine.
Sorry if you don't have a jet wash, lol!

Lakeland have a clothes remover "brush" thing which is basically made of nylon stuff instead of bristles - its BRILLIANT. Cheap and cheerful and does the job fantastically. Also good to bung on the lorry if you're going to a show and have hairs all over your showing jacket!

If you take your car to the garage for jetwashing have a look for an odd looking machine attached to it

These machines wash car mats that you put through a slot (you hang on to an edge of the mat) they have a good brush mechanism

So if you are there anyway it seems a shame not to use it...........

 

[Frozen Hoof Boots]

I wash mine still hairy in a wash bag then when dry I hoover it!! Bingo all the hair is gone!

Grooming stone invaluable bit if kit

A pin slicker brush; http://www.petsathome.com/shop/medium-ball-pin-slicker-brush-for-cats-and-dogs-by-mikki-15586 or a rubber hand brush followed by a damp sponge.

This is the best invention ever:

Also damp rubber gloves work really well.
