10 grooming bags to keep your kit tidy and organised

Grooming bags can be incredibly handy – and you can use them at the yard, when travelling or in the show ring. The best grooming bags for horses will have a good design that offers plenty of space for all your grooming brushes and spray bottles, such as mane and tail detangler.

Look for bags with additional pockets and internal compartments or dividers if you want help keeping things tidy and organised. External open pockets offer really easy access for larger items or the things you use most, while zipped pockets and compartments will help keep smaller items safe and secure.

Materials are important, too. The outer materials should be strong and be able to withstand being carried around the yard. Some bags have easy-clean linings, which are particularly useful as grooming bags are susceptible to getting grimy, dirty and hairy inside. Many grooming bags have waterproof and reinforced bases – and some even studs – to help prevent the bottom of the bag becoming damaged.

Some grooming bags are available in a wide range of colours and are designed to match with wider ranges. And some match with grooming brushes too, but these are usually sold separately. If you’re looking for a complete set of brushes with a bag, check out our guide to the best grooming kits.
