In what order do you use the curry comb dandy brush and soft brush to groom a horse?

Answer 1

First you get a brush called the curry comb and brush the horse in small round circles to get itchy hair off, then you use a different brush to go in streaks left to right/corner to corner on the spots after you used the curry comb, finally you take a special stick to pick the dirt out of the horse's hoves

Answer 2

1st - You use the curry comb in small, circular motions which will do wonders to loosen dead skin, hair & dirt and bring it up to the surface.

2nd - Use the Dandy brush (or stiff brush) to brush away heavy dirt, and all of that hair and dead skin that you loosened up with the curry.

3rd - Finish with a soft brush, which will coat your horses hair with the natural oils in his/her skin and give them a nice lustrous finish.

*With the Dandy brush and soft brush, always remember to brush in the direction that the horses hair grows.

*The more often you groom your horse, the shinier their coat will be!

Answer 3

First you use the curry comb, which loosens the dirt, then you use the hard brush which gets all of the dirt off. Then use the soft brush, which makes the coat shiny. After that you can brush their mane and tail.

Answer 4

It does not matter what order you use brushes on a horse, just the correct ones. Use lighter and softer ones when the hair is shorter in the summer and the harder and stiffer ones when the hair is longer and thicker in the winter.

Answer 5

First you brush: Make sure the pony is tied up, then remove any surface dirt with a dandy brush before going over the coat with a body brush.

Second you clean hooves: stand al ongside the pony facing his tail. The hooves should be picked twice a day. Run your hand down the leg then give the fetlock a tug, remove any mud or bedding. But be careful to work around the center of the hoof, for that is the frog, a very sensitve part of the horse.

Answer 6

The best way to groom horses is by first making sure that they are clean by washing them with a bucket. After they are dry, brushing them with a grooming brush designed for horses is the best to get them looking good.

Answer 7

To groom a horse you should first tie the horse up safely in it's stall or in a pair of cross ties. Next you'll need a selection of brushes. Start with a soft rubber curry and brush in a vigorous circular motion to loosen deep down dirt and dander. Once that is done you can use either a Dandy (Stiff) brush or a medium stiff brush to whisk away the heavier dirt and bring the smaller dirt and dander to the surface. The next brush to use is the Body (soft) brush, this will sweep away the lightest dirt and dander particles. I also like to follow up the body brush with a 'finishing' brush made of extra soft natural fibers to bring an extra glow to the surface. That will take care of the main body parts. Next you'll want to hand pick the knots and tangles out of the mane and tail, detangling oils can help with this. Once the tangles are picked out you can brush the mane or tail gently, starting at the bottom and working upward. Lastly you need to pick the hooves out. This is just a basic grooming session, for a more thorough grooming you can bathe the horse and clip the long hairs on it's body.
