Smart Grooming Quarter Marking Brush for Horses
Description
Smart Grooming Quarter Marking Brush — Crisp Quarter Marks, Every Time
The Smart Grooming Quarter Marking Brush is a small, precision grooming brush used to create quarter marks, sharks teeth and decorative coat patterns on a horse's hindquarters. It is best for showing, dressage and hunting turnout, and for any rider or groom who wants a sharp, professional finish at home or at a competition.
Short, dense 100% natural boar bristles lay the coat in a defined direction, while the ergonomic hardwood back and embossed leather strap keep the brush steady in the hand during fine detail work.

How to Use
- Groom the horse as normal and finish with a body brush so the coat is clean, flat and slightly damp if preferred.
- Stand the horse square on level ground and work on one hindquarter at a time.
- Hold the brush by the leather strap and brush short, firm strokes against the lie of the coat to lift each shape.
- Repeat the shape down the quarter, keeping the spacing even, then mirror the pattern on the opposite side.
- Use a stencil or comb alongside the brush if you want identical repeated shapes.
- Set the marks with a light mist of water or coat spray, then tap out and clean the brush before storing.

FAQ
What is a quarter marking brush used for?
It is used to brush decorative patterns, such as quarter marks, sharks teeth and diamonds, into the coat on a horse's hindquarters for showing and smart turnout.
What are the bristles made from?
The bristles are 100% natural boar bristle, kept short and dense so they create sharp, defined lines in the coat.
Can I use it on a thick winter coat?
Marks show most clearly on a short or clipped summer coat. On a longer winter coat the pattern is still achievable but will look softer and less defined.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The brush is a hand-held detailing tool, so it works equally well on ponies, cobs, natives and larger horses.
Does it replace my body brush?
No. It is a finishing and patterning brush with short bristles, so use it after your usual dandy and body brushes rather than instead of them.
How should I clean and store it?
Tap out hair and dust, clean the bristles with a curry comb and dry bristles down. Avoid soaking so the hardwood back and leather strap stay in good condition.
