LeMieux Flicky Long Bristle Horse Grooming Brush
Description
LeMieux Flicky Brush — Long, Flexible Bristles For A Dust-Free Coat
The LeMieux Flicky Brush is a long-bristled grooming brush that flicks dust, dirt and loose hair out of the coat in one sweeping stroke. It is best for everyday yard grooming on horses and ponies, from a quick flick-over before schooling to a full groom after turnout.
Its flexi body shape bends around the contours of the horse, while an elasticated webbing strap keeps the brush secure in the hand. It is available in colours designed to match the rest of the LeMieux grooming range.

How To Use
- Tie your horse up safely and remove any rugs or boots before you start.
- Loosen surface dirt first with a rubber curry comb or grooming mitt, working in circles.
- Slide your hand under the elasticated webbing strap so the brush sits flat against your palm.
- Work in the direction of the coat using long, light flicking strokes, lifting the bristles away at the end of each stroke.
- Follow the contours of the body — shoulders, barrel, quarters and down the legs — letting the flexi shape do the work.
- Tap the brush out regularly to clear trapped dust, then finish with a soft body brush or cloth for shine.

FAQ
What is a flick brush used for?
A flick brush is used to lift dust, dried mud and loose hair out of the coat. The long bristles flick debris away from the horse instead of pressing it back into the hair, which makes it a good second step after a curry comb.
Is the LeMieux Flicky Brush suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes. The long bristles and flexible body mean the pressure is spread over the coat rather than concentrated in one spot, so it suits thin-skinned and sensitive horses when used with light strokes.
Will it fit smaller hands?
The elasticated webbing strap stretches over the back of the hand and holds the brush in place, so it can be used comfortably by both adults and older children without gripping hard.
Can I use it on a muddy horse?
It works well on dried mud and dust. If the coat is wet or heavily caked, let the mud dry first, break it up with a curry comb, then use the Flicky Brush to flick the loosened dirt away.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap it out after each groom to release dust, and rinse the bristles in clean water when needed. Air dry naturally with the bristles facing down before storing it in the grooming box.
Can one brush be shared between horses?
It is better to keep a separate brush for each horse, particularly where any horse has sensitive skin or a skin condition, to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria between animals.
