Shedding blade
The shedding blade consists of a strip of flexible metal - sometimes made
of plastic - (approx. 50 cm by 4 cm), with a handle at both ends (1). It
serves to wipe off moisture from heavily sweaty horses.See also the sweat
scraper. [MOT](1) A discarded scythe blade was often used for this (e.g.
''Nouveau dictionnaire universel des arts et métiers'': s.v. couteau).
