Allogrooming tool · made in Provence, France

Have you ever seen a horse offer another horse a carrot or a treat?

No! To show affection, horses scratch each other's withers! Ekilike recreates this natural gesture of companionship: its curved teeth speak your horse's or pony's language, on the ground or in the saddle.

The foal closes its eyes

How to use it

Reward your horse the way horses do

A pat on the neck is a human gesture. A scratch on the withers is the one horses share in the field.

  1. Clip it on

    The Ekilike stays on your belt or saddle pad thanks to the retractable clip. It pulls out and retracts on its own.

  2. Scratch the withers

    Right after a well-done exercise, a few seconds of scratching with the curved teeth, in the saddle or on the ground.

  3. Watch

    The lip stretches, the head drops, the breathing relaxes: your horse got the message.

What research says

Based on the science of allogrooming

Ekilike builds on equine behaviour research. It soothes and builds a bond, alongside treats.

Scratch rather than pat

In a study of 18 horses, scratching the withers led to clearly more relaxation behaviours than patting the neck.

A gesture that means something to him

Allogrooming is the social gesture horses naturally share in the field. Ekilike lets you recreate it with curved teeth, without hurting your fingers.
