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).

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.

No, it's better to use a wire brush in circumflex movement and finish up with a soft brush to double check that all dirt is off.
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.
