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.
A body brush is used for grooming the horse's coat, removing loose hair and dirt. On the other hand, a dandy brush is a stiffer brush used to remove dirt and mud from the horse's coat. The body brush is softer and used for finishing touches, while the dandy brush is more rugged for tougher cleaning.
The skin of a young horse is sensitive, so a soft brush is usually best to begin grooming a young horse. When the weather becomes hot and flies are biting, a coarser brush will be more welcomed.
It is best if a hard or Dandy brush is not used on the face or lower legs as it can be too rough for these sensitive areas.
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)
