It is best for lifting dust and flicking loose hair from horses and ponies with soft or fine coats, and for gentle work on sensitive areas and after clipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a stiff dandy brush shifts dried mud and a body brush polishes, a flick brush does something different: the long, soft bristles sweep dust and loose hair up and away from the coat instead of driving it back in. That makes this brush the one to reach for on clipped horses, thin-skinned types and youngsters who object to firmer grooming.
