Borstiq Shaped Arenga Horse Grooming Brush
Description
Borstiq Shaped Arenga Horse Brush - Dense Natural Bristles for Mud and Grease
The Borstiq Shaped Arenga Horse Brush is a natural-bristle grooming brush with densely packed Arenga fibres that lift mud, dirt and grease out of the coat. It is best for riders and grooms who need a hard-working everyday brush for field-kept horses, muddy legs and post-ride cleanup, and it suits all coat types and textures.
The shaped body is designed to sit comfortably in the hand, and the head is slightly larger than the Borstiq Banana range - so you clear more coat per stroke without losing the control you need around contoured areas. Browse more grooming kit in our horse grooming collection.

How to Use
- Tie your horse safely and check the coat for dried mud, sweat marks and sensitive areas.
- Hold the shaped body in your palm so the bristles sit flat against the coat.
- Work in short, firm strokes in the direction of the hair, starting at the neck and moving back over the body.
- Use lighter pressure over bony areas such as the legs, hips and face region, and follow the horse's tolerance.
- Knock the brush out or flick it clear of debris every few strokes to keep the bristles working.
- Finish with a soft body brush to smooth the coat, then rinse the Arenga brush, shake it out and dry it bristles-down.
FAQ
What is an Arenga brush used for?
Arenga is a stiff natural fibre, so this brush is used as a working brush to lift mud, dirt and grease from the coat before a softer finishing brush. It suits daily grooming and post-ride cleanup.
Is it suitable for sensitive horses?
The bristles are dense and firm rather than soft, so use lighter pressure on thin-skinned or clipped horses and over bony areas. For faces and very sensitive skin, a soft brush is more appropriate.
How does it compare to the Borstiq Banana brushes?
The head on the Shaped Arenga brush is slightly larger than the Borstiq Banana range, so it covers more coat per stroke while the shaped body keeps handling precise.
Does it work on thick winter coats?
Yes. It is suitable for all coat types and textures, and the dense bristle arrangement reaches into the base layers of a thick coat to lift debris.
Can the brush be washed?
Rinse it after use, allow it to dry thoroughly and store it in a dry place. Avoid leaving natural fibres soaking, as this shortens bristle life.
Can I use it on ponies and cobs?
Yes. The brush is suitable for horses, ponies, cobs and larger types, and hairy cobs in particular benefit from the dense Arenga fibres.
