How to Select a Horse Brush
Maintaining a daily grooming regimen is essential to healthy skin and coat. The brushes and combs are the most important item in your horse grooming kit. Horse brushes remove dirt build-up, which prevents unwanted skin conditions and distributes natural oils to ensure a glossy coat even when bathing is not an option. Brushes are available with stiff bristles, medium bristles, soft and finishing bristles, in natural or synthetic bristles. Use them to easily loosen embedded dirt and shedding hair while grooming or bathing.
You'll need a different horse brush for each essential part of daily grooming, to keep your horse's skin and coat healthy and beautiful. Which horse brushes to buy depends on your cleaning needs and a horse’s sensitivity. Thicker bristles are typically used in body brushes to take out large chunks of dirt while finishing brushes have thin bristles for fine dust. Use long-bristle brushes to flick away dirt from your curry comb and short bristles for smoothing out the coat and adding polish. Stiff bristle brushes such as the dandy brush are most effective for removing heavy debris, but if your horse is sensitive, use a medium body brush. Pliable rubber nubs are helpful for mud removal in sensitive areas and stimulate the production of natural oils.In addition to individual brushes, you'll find horse brush kits. Buying a horse brush set is the best way to know that you have the right tools to get the job done.
