How to Use
- Remove mud and loose hair first with a rubber curry comb and dandy brush.
- Hold the body brush in the hand nearest the horse and a curry comb in the other.
- Work in short, firm strokes following the direction of the coat, starting at the neck.
- Clean the bristles against the curry comb every three or four strokes to release dust.
- Use lighter strokes over the face, ears and legs, and work over bony areas with care.
- Finish with a stable rubber or coat cloth for extra shine, then tap out the brush and store it bristles down.

FAQ
What is a body brush used for?
A body brush is used at the finishing stage of grooming. Its soft, closely packed bristles reach through the coat to lift dust and surface grease that a dandy brush leaves behind, which is what produces the shine.
Is goat hair suitable for sensitive horses?
Goat hair is one of the softest natural bristles used in grooming brushes, so it is a good choice for thin-skinned or ticklish horses and for careful use on the face, ears and legs.
What size is this brush?
It is a large oval body brush, shaped to cover the body and quarters efficiently while still sitting comfortably in an adult hand. Riders with smaller hands may prefer a compact brush for detail work.
Do I need a curry comb with it?
Yes, ideally. A metal or rubber curry comb is used alongside the body brush to clean the bristles every few strokes, otherwise dust is simply moved around the coat.
How do I clean and care for the brush?
Tap out dust and hair after each use, then wash occasionally in lukewarm water with mild soap. Rinse well and dry bristles downwards, away from direct heat, so the natural hair keeps its shape.
Can it be used on a clipped or rugged horse?
Yes. It works well on clipped coats and on horses that live rugged, where the aim is to remove dust and grease rather than heavy mud.
