This is pretty much for the same reason humans brush their hair. It keeps it from getting knots in it, gets the grime out and is for general well being of the horse.

What tools are inside a grooming kit for horses?

A typical grooming kit for everyday use should include (basic) a rubber curry comb, a stiff brush (also known as a dandy brush), a soft brush (or body brush), mane/tail combs, a hoof pick, and a metal shed blade. As an extra option you can also add treats and a face brush. You can keep it in a plastic tote. Other things you may want to have handy in a box could be fly spray, mane and tail detangler, clippers, pulling combs, and face and dock swipes. For bathing, have shampoo, mane and tail conditioner, sponges, a wash mitt, a sweat scraper, and baby wipes to help whiten some white spots. Shows obviously require show sheen, hoof dressing, and rubber bands for braids.
