How to Use
- Groom the horse thoroughly so the coat is clean, flat and free of dust.
- Lightly damp the quarters with a sponge or water brush — marks lift more clearly on a slightly damp coat.
- Hold the leather handle and work from the top of the quarters downwards, drawing the bristles against the lie of the hair.
- Build your pattern in short, even strokes, keeping spacing consistent on both sides.
- Step back and check the marks from a few metres away, then tidy any uneven edges.
- Set the finished marks with a light mist of coat sheen or quarter marking spray if desired.
FAQ
What is a quarter marking brush used for?
It is used to press decorative patterns, known as quarter marks, into the coat over a horse's hindquarters for showing, dressage and in-hand classes. The short boar bristles move the hair against its natural lie to create visible lines.
Does it work on a thick or unclipped coat?
It works best on a short, clean coat, so clipped or summer coats give the sharpest results. On a thicker winter coat, damping the hair well first and using firmer, shorter strokes will help the pattern show.
Should the coat be wet or dry?
Slightly damp is ideal. A dry coat gives softer, less defined marks, while a soaking wet coat tends to smear the pattern.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The brush is one size and suits ponies, cobs, natives and warmbloods alike — only the scale of the pattern you choose changes.
How do I clean and store the brush?
Tap out loose hair after use and rinse the bristles in warm water if needed, then stand it bristles downwards to dry naturally. Avoid soaking the wooden back or leather handle and keep it away from direct heat.
Can I use it with quarter marking stencils?
Yes. Hold the stencil flat against the coat and brush over it, then use the same brush freehand to sharpen the edges of the pattern.
