What's in my Grooming Kit / Greenhawk Grooming Package Review

I was cleaning my brushes and figured I'd take the opportunity to do a tour of my grooming kit, as well as a review because the grooming kit that I have is one of the most popular ones in all of Canada (or at least that's what it seems like when I'm trying to find mine in the giant pile at the barn). I have the basic Greenhawk Grooming Package, which comes with a tote, dandy brush, plastic currycomb, face brush, soft brush, hoof pick, jelly scrubber, comb, shedding blade, and bathing sponge.

All of the stuff in my grooming kit.

I took out the sponge, which I never use, and added the yellow hoof pick seen above, because the pink one it came with didn't have a brush, and it was killing me. I also have two granola bars as an emergency snack stash, and when I remember, I'll throw an apple in there for Taz or whatever lesson horse I'm riding. In winter I also stick some gloves in there, which usually never get used and just sit at the bottom gathering dust (a lot of it).

As for the review: 

Things I like:

• Jelly scrubber
• This is fantastic in winter. It gets the mud off quicker than a currycomb, and you don't have to worry about it being too rough on any sensitive spots.
• Currycomb
• It's just an average currycomb. It does its job and is really easy to clean (not really relevant but I really love that aspect of it).
• Sponge
• I hardly ever use it. It's alright.
• Soft brush
• Really soft, and good at getting dust off.
• Dandy brush
• Just a regular dandy brush. Nothing special, but it doesn't really need to be.
• Face brush
• Same as the dandy brush. It's just a normal brush. Something to note: The kit is supposed to have a goathair brush, but due to shortages at the time that I bought mine, I got a plastic one instead.

Things I don't like

• Hoof pick
• The kit came with the cheapest hoof pick available, which is okay at picking, but isn't very comfortable to hold, and doesn't come with a brush, which is incredibly annoying (so annoying that I had to buy a new one).
• Mane comb
• It sucks. It doesn't comb well and really is only useful for sectioning manes for braiding (and you could just get a better comb that does both).
• Tote
• The pockets don't have bottoms, which makes them easy to clean. However, that also means that smaller items slip to the bottom, making them nearly impossible to find. It's pretty dirt-repellent and has lots of room for extra items, but the pockets are unforgivable.
