It is best for riders and grooms who want one versatile all-rounder that lifts and flicks away dirt and dust from most coat types without being harsh on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe shaped head carries a higher bristle density and a slightly larger profile than a standard fibre brush, so each stroke covers more ground. Long, flexible bristles reach into the coat, loosen embedded dirt and sweep it clear with a light flick of the wrist - ideal for daily grooming, between baths and quick tidy-ups after turnout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural fibre bristles\u003c\/strong\u003e sourced from South America for a soft yet effective grooming action\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium-soft texture\u003c\/strong\u003e that works across most coat types without harsh abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaped head\u003c\/strong\u003e with a slightly larger profile for efficient coverage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigher bristle density\u003c\/strong\u003e for a more thorough sweep through the hair\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong, flexible bristles\u003c\/strong\u003e that reach in to loosen dirt and dust\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to maintain\u003c\/strong\u003e - hair can be removed from the bristles after brushing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile use\u003c\/strong\u003e - routine brushing, between baths, travel touch-ups and post-hacking clean-ups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more grooming kit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-grooming\"\u003ehorse grooming collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\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\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaped Mex Fibre Brush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBristle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural fibre, sourced from South America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBristle Texture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium-soft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBristle Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLong and flexible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaped, slightly larger profile, higher bristle density\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorses and ponies, most coat types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical Use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoutine grooming, between baths, travel, after turnout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRomania\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eTie or hold your horse safely and remove any rug before you start.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIf the coat is muddy, loosen surface dirt first with a curry comb or rubber mitt.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHold the brush comfortably in your hand and work in short strokes following the direction of the coat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStart at the neck, work back along the shoulders, barrel and quarters, then down each leg.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinish each stroke with a light flick of the wrist to throw the loosened dirt clear of the coat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePull accumulated hair from the bristles as you go, and again at the end of the session.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAllow the bristles to dry naturally if they have become damp.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Borstiq Shaped Mex Fibre Brush used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an all-round body brush for routine grooming.
