A sweat scraper is: a tool used in horse grooming and with other animals, such as dogs. It consists of a handle and a rubber blade. Sweat scrapers are available in both metal and "plastic form." And also traditionally in wood (as seen in Mongolia). It is used to remove sweat and/or excess hair from larger pets. It is used in much the same manner as a window cleaner would scrape water/foam from a window with a rubber blade. The typical use of a sweat scraper is to remove excess water after washing horse to help it cool down rather than for just sweat. Without the "use of a sweat scraper," it would take more effort and additional rags to remove the same amount of excess water therefore the proper use of a sweat scraper helps to ensure an effective cool down process.
