There are many types of brushes you can use on a horse. The most common are a curry comb, a mane/tail comb, a soft brush, a stiff brush, and even a normal house hold hair brush. If you type in horse care in your search browser, you should find many sites will list many brush types and what they are used for.

I use a face brush. A face brush is usually a white small brush. But before I got one I used a soft brush which isn't as soft but it worked. Just don't ever use a rough brush on their sensitive body parts.

I mostly use the hard brush for the body because you can use it for the mane and tail too. But for the head I always use the soft brush or face brush.

the curry comb, a hard plastic or rubber tool with teeth to loosen dirt and extra fur. You use it by brushing the horse in small circles

A hard brush is used after the curry comb, and it is used to bring the loosened dirt to the top of the coat. It is followed by the soft brush to brush off the dust.

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.


What do you use to groom a horse?

There are many different items to groom a horse with. Probably the most essential one is the hoof pick, which is used to remove debris from the horse's hoof. There is the currycomb, which is used in circular motions to loosen dirt and shedding hair from the horse. There is also a metal currycomb, which is used to clean other brushes, NOT the horse! There is the dandy brush, which as long and stiff bristles. Be careful not to use this hard, and not at all on thin-skinned horses. There is the body brush, which has shorter bristles and is softer than the dandy brush. There are numerous different grooming supplies. Make sure to select the ones that are best for the horse you're grooming : ). The main types of grooming equipment needed are: a curry comb, a dandy brush (same thing as a hard brush), a soft brush, a finishing brush, a face brush (and a face curry comb), a hoff pick and a shedding blade. Just remember to always groom your horse. You don't have to give it a full groom, but just brush it's coat so there is no dirt stuck to the hair (with using the curry comb), brush the dirt off (either dandy brush or soft brush), and pick the horse's feet (hoof pick).

When grooming a horse should you use the soft or hard brush first and how can you tell which one is the hard brush and which is the soft?

the hard brush should be used first (after the curry comb usually) to loosen and knock off any clumps of mud and most of the dirt. a soft brush should be used after to get any remaining dust off. to tell the difference, actually rub your hand with the brush. one should seem more prickly and rough and 'hard' while the other should feel considerably less rough and more 'soft', get it?

Can you clean the dirt from under horse's hoofs with a soft brush?

u could but i wouldn't cause that is not what the soft brush is used for. Try using a hoof pick w/ a brush @ the end. The soft brush is used for "sweeping" dust and dirt off of the horses coat. (I'm a horselover!:-P) But you could, so long as you don't care if the soft brush gets dirty, the brush will not hurt your horse. (I'm also a horselover xD)


What do you clean your horse with?

Cleaning a horse can end up taking a long time if you have a difficult horse but an easy horse won't be as much of a bother. There are a few types of brushes that can be found in every horse shop, curry comb; a fat & hard bristled brush which brings the dirt from the skin to the top of the hair Brussels, hard brush: used to flick away what the curry comb brings up from the skin, soft brush; a polishing brush and most horse love the feel of it on their skin kinda like a massage and the last item, a tail and main brush; like it's name it brushes knots out of main and tail but... it can annoy a horse so much that some times it's better to use your hands to pull knots out. The last item that is not a brush or comb is the hoof pick; picks rocks, hay and #2 out from in between the nail and the frog. Don't hit the frog it'll hurt the horse allot!
