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.

How do you use a dandy brush and body brush on horses?
The Dandy brush ( also called a stiff brush) is used after the curry comb and before the softer Body brush. To use the dandy brush you should sweep it in the same direction as the hair growth using firm , short strokes with a little upward flick at the end of each stroke. It is typically best not to use the dandy on the face or any super sensitive areas as it can be too rough. The body brush (also called a soft brush) is used as a final step in the grooming. You should use longer sweeping strokes with this brush as it lays the hair and brings the oils to the surface and spreads them to add a gloss to the coat. The body brush can be used anywhere on a horses body.

What do you need to know about horse grooming?
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.
