Smart Grooming Extreme Clean Horse Body Brush
Description
Smart Grooming Extreme Clean Brush - Deep-Clean Hog Bristle Body Brush
The Smart Grooming Extreme Clean Brush is a German-made horse body brush with densely packed natural hog bristles and a contoured wooden back. It is designed for riders, grooms and yard staff who need to lift ingrained dirt, dust and stains out of the coat rather than simply flicking dust off the surface.
It is best for deep cleaning before a show, after muddy turnout or as part of a daily grooming routine, and it pairs naturally with a rubber curry comb and a soft finishing brush. The embossed leather strap keeps the brush secure in the hand, including during a wash-down when hands are wet or soaped.
Key Features
- Densely packed natural hog bristles reach deep into the coat for thorough cleaning without excessive abrasion.
- Ergonomic wooden back contoured to fit a wide range of hand sizes, reducing wrist strain over longer sessions.
- Embossed leather hand strap for a secure, slip-resistant grip.
- Made in Germany with precise workmanship for consistent, long-lasting performance.
- Kit-friendly - works alongside curry combs, dandy brushes and finishing mitts in any grooming kit.
- Suits horses and ponies of all types, from natives and cobs to warmbloods.

How to Use
- Work over the coat with a rubber curry comb in circular motions to bring dirt and loose hair to the surface.
- Slide your hand under the leather strap so the wooden back sits flat against your palm.
- Brush in short, firm strokes in the direction of the coat, starting at the neck and working back over the shoulders, barrel and quarters.
- Clean the bristles against the curry comb every few strokes to clear the dirt you have lifted.
- Use lighter pressure on sensitive areas such as the face, belly and legs.
- Finish with a soft brush or mitt to smooth the coat and bring up the shine.
FAQ
Is this brush too harsh for a sensitive or thin-skinned horse?
The natural hog bristles clean deeply without excessive abrasion, so most horses accept it well. On thin-skinned or clipped horses, use lighter pressure and keep firmer strokes to the muscled areas such as the neck, shoulders and quarters.
What is the difference between this and a dandy brush?
A dandy brush has stiff, widely spaced bristles for flicking off dried mud. The Extreme Clean Brush has densely packed hog bristles that work down through the coat to lift ingrained dirt, grease and stains, so it is the deeper-cleaning of the two.
Can it be used wet or with shampoo?
The leather strap gives a slip-resistant grip even when hands are wet or soaped. Keep any wetting brief, avoid soaking the wooden back, and always dry the brush bristles-down at room temperature.
How do I clean the brush?
Tap out hair and dust after use and comb the bristles against a curry comb. If needed, rinse briefly in lukewarm water with a mild soap, shake out the excess and dry away from radiators and direct sunlight.
Will it suit a pony as well as a large horse?
Yes. The contoured wooden back fits a wide range of hand sizes and the brush is used the same way on ponies, cobs and larger horses, simply adjusting pressure to the coat type.
Where is it made?
The Extreme Clean Brush is made in Germany with precise workmanship for long-lasting performance.
