Sponges and/or cloths for wiping eyes and noses
You can try a human hair brush with the wire bristles to brush manes and tail, they don't pull as much hair out.

In my grooming box, I have....

• a rubber curry comb
• a metal curry comb
• a medium-hard brush
• a soft finishing brush
• couple of hoof picks
• a bunch of rags and towels for whatever
• face finishing brush
• Corona ointment for minor cuts and scratches
• Furall aerosol for other cuts and scrapes
• Cowboy Magic Greenspot Remover
• fly spray
• Show Sheen
• some anti-fungal/anti-bacterial spray for any rain rot or scurf that might show up
• Epona All-Purpose grooming mitt <--AMAZING
• sweat scraper
• Mane and tail comb and brush
• Love that Tail leave-in conditioner (I mix it with water for a spray-on detangler and conditioner)

There are more, I'm sure, but that's all I can think of right now.

As others have said

Hoof pick, hoof pick, hoof pick. Get a bunch of the cheap ones, and a few with a brush, that is one of the mos important things in your box.

I have a bunch, because I tend to lose them.

No hoof, no horse.

shedding blade-(metal currys) they are LIFE savers, and get loose hair and dried mud off, while the other side (no teeth) CAN be doubled as a hair squegee (sweat scraper)..... im in love with that item

A few linen towels for putting that final shine on your horse after you are done grooming, mine was bought at a tack shop, and it says stable rubber, it's just a linen towel...I have a bunch of old linen napkins, that I keep out there, and when they are all dirty I put them in the wash....also kitchen terry towels, and wash cloths, come in handy in your tack box....
