LeMieux Artisan Soft Bristle Horse Body Brush
Description
LeMieux Artisan Body Brush — Soft Natural Bristle Grooming Brush
The LeMieux Artisan Body Brush is a soft natural bristle body brush for everyday horse and pony grooming, finished with an ergonomic wooden handle. It is best for riders who want a reliable daily brush that lifts dust and loose hair from the coat and leaves a clean, even shine.
Because the bristles are soft rather than stiff, this brush is the finishing stage of a groom: use a curry comb or dandy brush first to bring mud and dirt to the surface, then use the Artisan Body Brush over the whole body. The gold foil embossed branding on the handle gives it a smart look on the yard and at shows. Browse more horse grooming brushes and kit to build a matching set.

How to Use
- Tie your horse safely and remove dried mud with a curry comb or dandy brush first.
- Hold the wooden handle in your dominant hand and a metal or rubber curry comb in the other.
- Work in short, firm strokes in the direction of the coat, starting at the neck and moving back over the body.
- Clean the bristles on the curry comb every three or four strokes to release trapped hair and dust.
- Use lighter pressure over bony areas, the belly and the face, and finish with a soft cloth if desired.
- Remove hair from the bristles after each groom and store the brush bristles-down.
FAQ
What is a body brush used for? A body brush has soft bristles designed to lift fine dust, scurf and loose hair from the coat and bring out a natural shine. It is used after a curry comb or dandy brush has loosened heavier dirt.
Is the LeMieux Artisan Body Brush suitable for ponies? Yes. It is a general-purpose body brush suitable for horses, ponies, cobs and youngsters, and the soft bristles are gentle enough for fine or clipped coats.
Can I use it on a muddy horse? It is not intended as a mud brush. Remove caked mud with a curry comb or stiffer dandy brush first, then use the Artisan Body Brush to finish the coat.
How do I clean the brush? Remove hair from the bristles with a curry comb after each groom. Wash occasionally in lukewarm water with a mild soap, shake out excess water and dry bristles-down at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Will the wooden handle be comfortable for long grooming sessions? The handle is shaped ergonomically to sit in the palm and give a secure grip, which helps when grooming a full body or several horses.
