Hy Equestrian Progroom Hex Body Brush for Horses
Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Hex Body Brush
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Hex Body Brush is an everyday grooming brush for horses and ponies, built with durable, high quality bristles set in a unique hexagonal pattern. It is designed to remove dirt, dust and loose hair from the coat, leaving it smooth, shiny and healthy looking, which makes it best for daily yard grooming and quick pre-ride tidy-ups.
Use it as the main body brush in your grooming kit, following a curry comb or rubber mitt so the bristles can sweep away the dirt that has already been raised to the surface. It suits horses, ponies and cobs on a summer, winter or clipped coat.

How to Use
- Start with a curry comb or rubber mitt in circular motions to lift dirt and dust to the surface of the coat.
- Take the Progroom Hex Body Brush and work in the direction of the hair using short, flicking strokes.
- Clean the bristles on a curry comb every few strokes so dust is removed rather than spread back over the coat.
- Work over the neck, shoulders, barrel and quarters, easing the pressure over bony areas such as the hip and spine.
- Finish with a soft face brush around the head and a stable rubber or cloth for a final shine.
- Tap out loose hair, rinse the brush if needed and leave to dry with the bristles facing down.
FAQ
What is the hexagonal bristle pattern for?
The bristles are grouped in a hexagonal layout, which spreads the tufts evenly across the head of the brush so you get consistent contact with the coat as you sweep over the body.
Is this a body brush or a dandy brush?
It is a body brush, intended for lifting dirt, dust and loose hair from the coat and finishing the hair smooth. A stiffer dandy brush is generally used for dried mud on legs and heavily soiled areas.
Can I use it on a clipped horse?
Yes. Work with lighter pressure and follow the direction of the coat. On clipped or thin-coated horses, keep strokes shorter around bony areas such as the shoulder and hip.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap out loose hair after each groom and clean the bristles on a curry comb. When it becomes greasy, rinse in clean water, shake off the excess and dry naturally with the bristles facing downwards.
Is one brush enough for more than one horse?
It can be shared, but many owners keep a separate brush per horse, particularly for any horse with sensitive or irritated skin, to avoid transferring anything between coats.
Does it suit ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The brush is a standard body brush shape and is used in the same way on ponies, cobs, horses and warmbloods.
