FAQ
What is the Hy Equestrian Progroom Flexiform Sponge Brush used for?
It is used for grooming and washing horses. The soft bristles lift dirt from the coat while the central sponge holds water or shampoo, so you can bath your horse or wash off sweat after exercise with one tool.
Can it be used for dry grooming as well as washing?
Yes. The soft bristles suit everyday grooming on a dry coat, and the sponge can be left dry or filled with water depending on the job.
Is it suitable for sensitive horses?
The bristles are soft and the flexible body follows the horse's shape, so pressure is spread rather than concentrated in one spot. Introduce it gently to youngsters and ticklish horses as you would any new brush.
Does it fit small hands?
The brush is lightweight with a soft-touch construction and is designed to be held in the palm, so it suits most adult and older junior hands for longer grooming sessions.
How do I clean the brush?
Rinse it in clean water after each use to clear shampoo and hair from the bristles and sponge, squeeze out the sponge and leave it to air dry before storing.
Can it be used on ponies and cobs as well as horses?
Yes. It is a hand-held brush rather than a sized item, so it can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods alike.
