The present invention is a ground-based tool for use by horses, livestock and other animals for such animals to scratch themselves without human intervention. The tool is configured and positioned to remove biting insects from animal undersides and to relieve any itching from such insects or from other causes. In a preferred embodiment the device comprises at least one anchor for securing the device to the ground such that a tuft of bristles extends upwardly to a height to allow an animal to scratch its own belly. The device is flexible yet strong enough to withstand the potentially large forces applied by a large animal standing over the device.
