∙ 14y agoA dandy brush is a variously sized oval shaped handheld brush used on horses, cows, goats and the like for cleaning the coat. I have seen them anywhere from about 4 inches to 14 inches long, the handheld part can be made of wood or plastic, the bristles various lengths, stiffness, made of plastic, horsehair or straw like a broom. Bristles can also be fine/soft to "polish" the coat, to stiff/strong to clean mud, dirt, sweat, etc from the coat. Hope this helps.

∙ 11y agoThe Dandy brush also called a stiff brush can be used on the horses body and upper legs in short quick flicking strokes. It should not be used on the face or lower legs as it's too rough for those parts. A 'medium' brush might be usable on those areas though.

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.
