The main difference is that a dandy brush usually has stiff bristles, while the body brush (also called the soft brush) is much softer.
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.
well you use the curry comb to get the muck of the horses coat then use the soft brush then use the hose, shampoo or conditioner or the fly cream. after use the sweat scraper to wipe off water and dry it with a towel then body brush and finally dandy brush to brush the tail. dont forget to use the mane comb for the mane and the face brush for the face.
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.
You can clean your horse mane and tail with a curry comb, body brush, and a dandy brush. To clean your feather duster, gently shake off any dust outside and occasionally vacuum it to remove debris. For a toothbrush, rinse it thoroughly with water after each use and let it air dry.
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.
leg and body if you have a horse that lives in a filed you can use it on body insted of a body brush
a flicer brush is not the same to a dandy as although the bristles are of the same material, they are longer, so when brushin your horse's body, loose hairs will come up and the flicer brush will brush the hair right of the horse's body into the air, instead of just moving it along the body.
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.
