I've never heard of using certain brushes on certain horses. My only idea is that you don't use a metal curry comb on a horse unless it's shedding it's winter coat. YOU MUST NEVER USE A METAL CURRY COMB ON A HORSE! You use a metal curry comb for cleaning your body brush out. If your horse is loosing its winter coat then you use a RUBBER curry comb to remove it in circular actions, you can also use a rubber curry comb for massaging your horse. 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.

To use it, you pull the comb through the hair in the direction the coat lies, being careful not to scratch the horse's skin. When most people refer to a curry comb they mean an oval, rubber comb/brush that is rubbed over the horse's body in a circular motion. This is called "currying" the horse. Like a metal comb, the curry comb removes dead hair, but it is also good for removing dried mud and is much gentler on the skin.
