That would be a curry comb. You use the brush like this, in case you don't know: Make firm circular motions on the horse's coat. Then, when the dirt/mud/whatever is loosened, use the dandy brush (aka stiff brush) to brush the stuff of. You use that brush with a flick of the wrist.

When grooming a grass kept pony which brush should you not use to much of?
I've never heard of using certain brushes on certain horses. My only idea is that you don't use a metal curry comb on a horse unless it's shedding it's winter coat. YOU MUST NEVER USE A METAL CURRY COMB ON A HORSE! You use a metal curry comb for cleaning your body brush out. If your horse is loosing its winter coat then you use a RUBBER curry comb to remove it in circular actions, you can also use a rubber curry comb for massaging your horse. If it is the winter and you have a grass kept horse/pony then you should never use a body brush 2 much because it removes the grease and oils from your horse that keeps it warm in the winter but you can still use it but not much. A body brush is fine 2 use in the summer because you will be removing the grease and oils to keep your pony/horse cool.
How do you brush a pony?
If your horse has mud on it, use a curry comb in circular motions to loosen the dirt. then use a stiff brush with a flicking motion of your wrist to flick off the loosened dirt/mud. then you may choose to go over the horse with a soft (finishing) brush with long smooth motions to sweep off any remaining dust particles to give the horse a more polished look. You can either brush or comb the mane and tail if you wish and you should clean out its feet every day, just to check for stones or, if your horse wears shoes, check for loose shoes. You could groom your horse well enough to ride with only a hoof pick and a stiff brush, but to get the most thorough job, you should use a curry comb and soft or finishing brush.

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).
