Currycombs are used for grooming or currying horses or other animals and generally include a base, a number of rows of rigid teeth or serrated ridges extending from the base, and a handle.

CONT

The comb itself is a round or rectangular tool usually made of rubber or plastic. It has stubby, semi-pointed "teeth" that serve to loosen dirt, hair, and dander for later removal with brushes. It also is used to remove hard-packed dirt and debris from the coat, stimulating oil glands; thus, it is a vital part of grooming for a healthy coat. A curry comb is applied with a vigorous circular rubbing motion.
