You start with a curry comb-use this in circular motions to loosen up dirt and mud (dont use this on the legs). Then use a dandy or stiff brush (they're the same thing) with a flicking motion of your wrist to flick the dirt off the coat (go in the direction of the coat with this brush) You may choose to folow up with a soft brush or a rag to wipe the smallest particles off and sort of polish the coat. You can use a face brush to brush the horses face too if you want. Then pick out the horses hooves to make sure nothing is stuck in there. You might also comb the mane and tail.
I get by with just a stiff brush and hoof pick. The other supplies are just for a more thorough grooming and aren't really nesesary.
