Curry comb - dandy brush - soft brush
a hard brush
Body brush, ideal for just a quick groom. Not heavy or clumpy at all. Dandy brushes are okay, as are curry combs, but not so easy to use.
well you use the curry comb to get the muck of the horses coat then use the soft brush then use the hose, shampoo or conditioner or the fly cream. after use the sweat scraper to wipe off water and dry it with a towel then body brush and finally dandy brush to brush the tail. dont forget to use the mane comb for the mane and the face brush for the face.
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).
the order of brushes? well that is easy that is curry comb hard brush soft brush and hoof pick.
depends what time of year it is, if they are stabled all of the time: If it's winter, it is safe to groom them with a dandy brush as a body brush takes some of the oils out of it's coat which they need for warmth, If it is spring then they will be loosing their coat, so dont brush them too much or they will loose it too quickly and get cold. If it's summer, you can brush them as much as they like, as it will be too hot to worry.
With a curry comb
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
Use a brush to groom a cat.
