∙ 14y agoThere is a plastic curry comb which is used to get off all the hard mud and stains, a
rubber curry comb which gets rid of the hair when they are moulting and can get rid of
natural dust/oil in their coat which keeps them warm and dry, and there is a metal
curry comb which you use to get the hairs off the dandy and body brush but... DO NOT

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.
