Equi-Sential Two Tone Soft Nylon Body Brush
Description
Equi-Sential Two Tone Body Brush
The Equi-Sential Two Tone Body Brush is a soft nylon bristled grooming brush designed for use on the horse's body. It is best for riders who want an everyday brush for removing surface dust and loose hair and bringing a shine to the coat after a curry comb has lifted the dirt.
It suits ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods, and works well on clipped or thin-skinned horses that find stiffer brushes uncomfortable. The two tone colouring makes it easy to pick out of a shared grooming box on a busy yard.

FAQ
Is this brush soft enough for a sensitive horse?
Yes. It has soft nylon bristles intended for use on the body, so it is generally comfortable on thin-skinned, clipped and sensitive horses.
What is the difference between a body brush and a dandy brush?
A dandy brush has stiff bristles for lifting dried mud, while a body brush has softer bristles for removing finer dust and loose hair and finishing the coat.
Can I use it on the face and legs?
Many riders use a soft body brush carefully on the face, but always work gently and watch your horse's reaction. A smaller face brush is often easier around the head.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a standard body brush size that can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods.
How do I clean the brush?
Draw the bristles across a curry comb to clear hair, rinse in clean water, then leave to dry naturally with the bristles pointing downwards.
Will it remove thick dried mud?
No. For caked mud use a curry comb or stiff dandy brush first, then finish with this soft body brush.
