Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Flexiform Goat Hair Body Brush
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Flexiform Goat Hair Body Brush is a soft finishing brush with natural goat hair bristles, made to give your horse's coat a smooth, polished finish. It is best for riders who want a gentle brush for the final stage of grooming, for sensitive areas, and for show preparation on horses, ponies and cobs.
The flexible Flexiform body contours to the shape of the horse, holding the bristles in close contact with the coat so fine dust and loose hair are lifted away while natural oils are distributed for a glossy appearance.

How to Use
- Start with a rubber curry comb or dandy brush to lift mud, heavier dirt and loose hair from the coat.
- Hold the body brush so it sits flat against the coat and allow the flexible form to follow the horse's shape.
- Work in short, sweeping strokes in the direction of the coat, moving from the neck along the shoulders, barrel and quarters.
- Tap the brush against a curry comb every few strokes to release the dust and hair collected in the bristles.
- Use lighter pressure around the face, belly, flanks and any clipped or thin-skinned areas.
- Finish over the whole body before a show, then store the brush clean and dry in your grooming kit. Browse more horse grooming essentials to complete the kit.
FAQ
What is a goat hair body brush used for?
A goat hair body brush is a finishing brush. The very soft natural bristles lift fine dust and loose hair from the coat and help spread the horse's natural oils, leaving a smooth, glossy finish after the curry comb and dandy brush have done the heavier work.
Is this brush gentle enough for sensitive horses?
Yes. The ultra-soft goat hair bristles are gentle enough for sensitive areas, which makes the brush suitable for thin-skinned, clipped or ticklish horses that object to stiffer brushes.
What does Flexiform mean?
Flexiform refers to the flexible body of the brush, which contours comfortably to the shape of your horse and keeps the bristles in close contact with the coat while you groom.
Can I use it on a muddy horse?
It is not designed as a mud brush. Remove mud and heavy dirt with a curry comb or dandy brush first, then use the goat hair body brush to refine and polish the coat.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap it against a curry comb during grooming to clear trapped hair, then rinse the bristles in lukewarm water when needed and leave it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is a hand-held body brush that suits ponies, cobs, horses and youngsters, and many owners keep one brush per horse to help limit the spread of skin conditions.
