A horse soft brush is a grooming tool designed to remove dust, dirt, and loose hair from a horse's coat without causing irritation to the skin. Typically made with soft bristles, it is used after a curry comb to smooth the hair and enhance shine. This brush is also helpful for sensitive areas, such as the face and legs, where a gentler touch is required. Regular use of a soft brush promotes a healthy coat and strengthens the bond between the horse and handler.

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.
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)
A soft brush, also called a body brush is a soft bristled brush used to lay the horses coat down smooth and remove fine dust and dander. These rushes can be made out of synthetic materials or from natural horsehair bristles which tend to leave a finer sheen to the horse.Soft brushes should not be confused with finishing brushes even though the terms are often used interchangeably.
To groom a Tennessee Walking Horse, start by brushing the horse's coat with a rubber curry comb to remove dirt and loose hair. Next, use a dandy brush to further clean the coat and a soft body brush for a finishing touch. Don't forget to pick out the horse's hooves and brush the mane and tail.
