How to Use
- Tie your horse safely and pick out the feet before you begin grooming.
- Start at the neck and work along the body in short, flicking strokes, following the direction of the coat.
- Use firmer strokes over muddy shoulders, quarters and legs to break up dried dirt.
- Lighten the pressure over bony areas such as the hocks, knees and spine, and avoid the face.
- Follow with a body brush or grooming mitt to remove the loosened dust and bring up a shine.
- Tap out the bristles, rinse if clogged and stand the brush bristle-side down to dry.
FAQ
What is a dandy brush used for?
A dandy brush has stiff bristles and is used at the start of grooming to lift dried mud, dust, sweat marks and loose hair from the coat, usually on the body, shoulders and legs rather than the face.
Is this brush too stiff for a clipped or thin-skinned horse?
Dandy brushes are firm by design. On clipped, thin-coated or sensitive horses, use light pressure or choose a softer body brush instead, and always avoid the face and bony areas.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The brush suits horses and ponies of all types, from natives and cobs to warmbloods, and the soft touch back makes it comfortable for younger hands to hold.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap out loose hair after each use and rinse the bristles in clean water when they become clogged with mud. Stand the brush bristle-side down and allow it to air dry fully before storing.
Can I use it on a muddy horse straight from the field?
Yes, and this is where a dandy brush works best. Allow wet mud to dry first, as dried mud breaks up and brushes away far more easily than wet mud.
