It is best if a hard or Dandy brush is not used on the face or lower legs as it can be too rough for these sensitive areas.

Can the brush used after the dandy brush aka the soft brsh be used on a horses face and legs?
Yes, a dandy brush, or soft brush is a good thing to use on a horse's face and/or legs. Answer 2: In the UK, a "dandy" brush is a hard bristled brush unsuitable for use on the horse's face and sensitive areas. A body brush or special face brush is a more suitable alternative for these areas. It can safely be used on the legs however.
Rub with a hard brush?
Your horse may not like this depending on how sensetive his skin is. Work up dirt and loose hair with a rubber curry then brush away with a stiff body brush. Use small flicks of the wrist and keep the brush hair-free by cleaning with a metal curry every few flicks. Try not to use the metal curry on your horse's coat though. Metal curries are for cleaning your brushes, not the horse's hair. Never use a stiff brush on your horse's more sensetive areas like his face and legs. Use a soft, smaller face brush on these places.
What brush do you use on a horse?
A hard brush *This is a bit too general...actually depends on what part of the body you are planning on brushing. The body (excluding legs and face) is fine to use a hard (dandy) or medium brush. On the legs and face you should use a soft brush. They also have finishing brushes that can be used to brush the face if your horse needs something softer. If there is dirt or mud on your horses face or legs that a soft brush will not get rid of, use a grooming mitt or jelly curry, never use a regular curry comb on those areas (rubber curry's are reserved for the body).

There are many different items to groom a horse with. Probably the most essential one is the hoof pick, which is used to remove debris from the horse's hoof. There is the currycomb, which is used in circular motions to loosen dirt and shedding hair from the horse. There is also a metal currycomb, which is used to clean other brushes, NOT the horse! There is the dandy brush, which as long and stiff bristles. Be careful not to use this hard, and not at all on thin-skinned horses. There is the body brush, which has shorter bristles and is softer than the dandy brush. There are numerous different grooming supplies. Make sure to select the ones that are best for the horse you're grooming : ). The main types of grooming equipment needed are: a curry comb, a dandy brush (same thing as a hard brush), a soft brush, a finishing brush, a face brush (and a face curry comb), a hoff pick and a shedding blade. Just remember to always groom your horse. You don't have to give it a full groom, but just brush it's coat so there is no dirt stuck to the hair (with using the curry comb), brush the dirt off (either dandy brush or soft brush), and pick the horse's feet (hoof pick).
