It is best for daily grooming, finishing and post-clip touch-ups on fine, clipped or sensitive coats where a stiff dandy brush would be too harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe shaped back sits naturally in the palm so you can work with a light flicking action, lifting dust, dander and loose hair up and away from the coat rather than pressing it back in. It is a good choice for thin-skinned or ticklish horses, and for anyone building a soft-to-stiff grooming kit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic wood-backed handle\u003c\/strong\u003e - curved design fits naturally in the hand for comfort and steady control.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-long 12 cm bristles\u003c\/strong\u003e - fine polypropylene filaments reach into the coat to remove dust and debris.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft flicking action\u003c\/strong\u003e - cleans without scratching sensitive areas or delicate hairs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile grooming tool\u003c\/strong\u003e - daily grooming, post-clip tidying and lifting loose hair from soft, fine coats.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality construction\u003c\/strong\u003e - made for regular use in a working horse grooming kit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne size\u003c\/strong\u003e - suits horses and ponies of all types, with no sizing to get wrong.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorstiq\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft flick body brush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBristle length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBristle material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFine polypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBack and handle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaped wood, ergonomic curve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFine, clipped and sensitive coats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorse, pony, cob, warmblood, youngster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTap clean, cool rinse, air dry away from heat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove heavy mud and dried sweat first with a rubber curry comb or dandy brush.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHold the shaped handle in your palm so the wooden back rests against your hand.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWork in short, sweeping flicks in the direction of the coat, starting at the neck and moving towards the hindquarters.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse lighter pressure over the flanks, belly and any sensitive areas, letting the bristle tips do the work.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean the bristles against a metal or plastic curry comb every few strokes to release trapped hair.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTap out the brush, rinse if needed and leave it to air dry before returning it to your grooming box.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more brushes and kit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-grooming\"\u003ehorse grooming collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this brush soft enough for a clipped or sensitive horse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
