The Equi-Sential Multi Dandy Brush is a firm nylon-bristled grooming brush used to remove loose hair, dust and dried mud from a horse or pony's coat. It is best for owners of field-kept horses and for anyone building a basic grooming kit, as it handles the heavy work before a softer body brush finishes the coat.

FAQ
What is a dandy brush used for?
A dandy brush has firm bristles and is used to remove dried mud, dust and loose hair from the coat. It is normally the first brush used in a grooming session, before a softer body brush.
Is this brush too harsh for a sensitive horse?
The bristles are firm by design. On thin-skinned or sensitive horses, use lighter strokes on the body and switch to a soft body brush for the face, legs and any ticklish areas.
What size is the Equi-Sential Multi Dandy Brush?
It measures approximately 18cm x 5.5cm, which makes it easy to hold for adults and older children alike.
Can I choose the colour?
No. The brush comes in assorted colours and is supplied at random, so the colour you receive may vary from any image shown.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap out loose hair after use, then rinse the bristles in warm water with a mild brush cleaner. Shake off the excess and leave bristle-side down to dry away from direct heat.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The compact size works well on ponies, cobs, horses and youngsters being introduced to grooming.
