FAQ
What is a flick brush used for?
A flick brush is used to lift and sweep dirt, dust and loose hair away from the surface of the coat, usually after a curry comb has loosened it.
Is the Mackey Flexi Flick Brush suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It suits horses, ponies and cobs, and the flexible body makes it easy to work over smaller frames.
How does it differ from a dandy brush?
The medium-length bristles and flexible design are aimed at flicking dirt clear of the coat and leaving a smooth finish, rather than scrubbing at heavy caked mud.
Can I use it during moulting season?
Yes. The flicking action helps sweep away loose hair, so it is useful when the coat is changing.
How do I clean the brush?
Pull trapped hair from the bristles after grooming, rinse in clean water when needed and let it dry fully before storing.
Is it comfortable to hold for long grooming sessions?
The brush is designed to fit naturally in the hand, which helps maintain control and comfort when grooming several horses.
