new grooming kit

My old grooming kit is, well, old and has had its share of love, so im off to the saddlery to get myself a new one! Does any one have any brilliant, but rarely heard of contraptions that I might find useful in my grooming box? Love to hear them.

Especially anyones that may help me thin out my horses mane?
Thanks a heap, and my horse will thank you too if she gets a thin mane to stand the schorching Auzzie summer!
