The body brush is the main grooming brush. It is generally used for cleaning the coat, removing scurf and dust, and for brushing out the mane and tail. The close-set hairs of the brush are designed to reach right through the coat to the skin beneath, lifting and removing dirt and creating a shine. Use short circular strokes over the body, finishing each stroke in the direction of the lay of the coat. Use in conjunction with a metal curry comb, after four or five strokes of the body brush - draw the brush across the teeth of the curry comb to dislodge the dirt. You could also use a rubber or plastic curry comb to keep your body brush clean.

Our pure hair body brushes are ideal for traditional quartering and strapping. Quartering is the act of using a body brush and a curry comb to quickly brush off a clipped stabled horse before exercise. Fold the rugs half back to do the neck and shoulders, paying important attention to behind the ears, the saddle patch and girth region. Then reverse and fold the rug forward to do the quarters. End up by brushing any straw or shavings out of the tail. For removing stubborn stable stains or sweat marks use a water brush. (You could also use one of our natural fibre, duster or “beastie” dandy brushes for quartering). For strapping see the horse grooming tips page.

The traditional way of caring for a muddy wet horse after hunting or cross country riding is to allow the mud to dry and then brush it off. Washing down can trap mud in the skins pores, increasing the chances of mud fever or cracked heels. The “Mud Buster” body brush and Mexican fibre body brush are both ideal for removing dry mud - even from under bellies. Both brushes are tough on dirt but not rough on the horse or pony.

When grooming the tail, hold the tail in one hand and the body brush in the other, and allow a few strands of hair to escape at a time, gently brush these out and repeat until you have brushed out the whole tail.
