Hy Equestrian Progroom Vivid Body Brush for Horses
Description
Hy Equestrian Progroom Vivid Body Brush
The Hy Equestrian Progroom Vivid Body Brush is a soft-bristled finishing brush for horses and ponies, designed to remove fine dust and loose coat at the end of a grooming session. Its soft PP bristles work gently, preserving the horse's natural oils while leaving behind a polished sheen, which makes it best for everyday grooming, pre-ride tidying and show-day finishing rather than heavy mud removal.
It sits naturally in any grooming kit alongside a rubber curry comb, dandy brush and hoof pick, and the vibrant colourway makes it easy to spot in a busy shared tack room.

How to Use
- Pick out the hooves and remove heavy mud or dried dirt with a rubber curry comb or dandy brush first.
- Hold the body brush flat against the coat and work in short, firm strokes in the direction of the hair.
- Start at the neck and work back over the shoulders, barrel and quarters, easing the pressure over bony or sensitive areas.
- Tap the bristles against a wall or run them across a metal or rubber curry comb every few strokes to release trapped dust.
- Finish with a soft cloth or stable rubber over the coat for extra shine before riding or showing.
- Rinse the brush in clean water when it becomes greasy, shake out the excess and leave to air dry away from direct heat.
FAQ
What is a body brush used for?
A body brush is the finishing brush in a grooming routine. Its soft, closely packed bristles lift fine dust and loose hair from the coat and spread the horse's natural oils, leaving a smooth, polished finish.
Is the Hy Equestrian Progroom Vivid Body Brush suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes. The bristles are soft PP, so the brush is gentle enough for thin-skinned or sensitive horses, though you should always ease the pressure over bony areas and watch your horse's reaction.
Can I use it on a muddy horse?
It is not designed for heavy mud. Use a rubber curry comb or dandy brush to break up dried mud first, then use the body brush to remove the remaining fine dust and finish the coat.
Does it suit ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The brush can be used on ponies, cobs, horses and youngsters as part of an everyday grooming routine.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap it against a wall or a curry comb during grooming to release dust, then rinse in clean water when it becomes greasy, shake out the excess and leave to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I use it before a competition?
Yes. It is well suited to show-day preparation, lifting surface dust and finishing the coat with a clean sheen before you enter the ring.
