Mackey Flexi Scrub Brush for Horse Grooming
Description
Mackey Flexi Scrub Brush — Firm Bristles, Flexible Back
The Mackey Flexi Scrub Brush is a firm-bristled grooming brush with a flexible back, designed to remove stubborn dirt and dried mud from a horse's coat and legs. It suits riders, grooms and yard owners who need a dependable everyday brush for horses, ponies and cobs, especially those kept at grass through the muddy months.
The flexible back lets the brush bend with the contours of the horse, so it stays in contact over legs, hocks and shoulders while giving you a secure, comfortable hold. It is best for heavy mud removal and general daily grooming, and pairs naturally with a soft body brush for finishing the coat.

FAQ
What is the Mackey Flexi Scrub Brush used for?
It is used for everyday grooming and for removing stubborn dirt and dried mud from the coat and legs.
Is it suitable for use on the legs?
Yes. The flexible back helps the brush follow the shape of the legs, though you should use a lighter pressure over bony areas such as knees and hocks.
Are the bristles too firm for a sensitive horse?
The bristles are firm and intended for mud and dirt removal. On a thin-skinned or sensitive horse, use lighter strokes and finish with a soft body brush.
Can it be used on ponies and cobs?
Yes. It is a single-size hand brush that suits horses, ponies, cobs and youngsters alike.
How do I clean the brush?
Knock out loose hair and dirt after use, rinse in clean water when required and allow it to dry naturally before returning it to the grooming box.
Can it be used on a wet or muddy coat?
It works best once heavy mud has dried, as dried mud lifts away more easily. It can be rinsed clean afterwards if used damp.
