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.

What is the person who cares for a horses feet called?

A farrier should come in weekly to replace the horse's shoes and remove any unhealthy parts of the hoof, the equipment they use does not hurt the horse, though it may look like it does, and the horse should get used to the process and be quite calm when the shoeing is taking place. The farrier should come regularly, and he should only have to shoe horses in work, not horses that are kept out at grass. If the horse is kept out at grass or has gone lame, or for any reason is out of work, then they should have their hooves picked out every morning and every night by either the owner or the person who looks after the horse. If the horse's hooves are too small they cannot have shoes. You can keep a working horse barefoot, and farriers do that too.

How should you store a horse grooming kit?

Ideally, your horse grooming kit should be stored in a proper grooming bag or box and then put in the tack room. It should be stored in a bag/box, as then it stops the brushes getting dirtier and it needs to be kept in something like a tack room, as it obviously cannot be kept in the horses stable. Hope this helped :)

How to Perform Pet Grooming at Home?

Grooming your pets can be expensive. But with a few simple steps, pets can be safely and inexpensively groomed at home. Begin by a simple grooming technique to introduce your pet to the activity of being groomed. Gather supplies prior to any grooming attempts. Cotton balls presoaked with ear cleaning solutions for pets, nail clippers and scissors should be kept nearby with towels and damp wash cloths for fast wipe downs after grooming is completed. Begin by choosing a brush suitable to the size of your animal. For dogs, a brush with two sides; wire for broad brushing and bristle for surface grooming, should be used. For cats, choose a brush suitable for their coat. Bristle for short fur and wire for long fur works best. Choose a time of day when your pet is at its most relaxed. This is usually after a meal at the end of the day. Sit on the floor beside your pet and stroke them with your hand before applying the brush. Introduce the brush in an area away from their field of vision. If your pet is not accustomed to grooming, they may run away if they see the brush for the first time so it’s important to introduce the brush in an area that your pet cannot readily see. Remove your hand and introduce the brush slowly along the lower back and down the tail. Avoid hitting or snagging any snarls or knots as you begin as this can cause pain and may make your pet avoid future attempts. After your pet is brushed, stroke them and reassure them once more before beginning the detailed grooming essentials. After they are relaxed again, insert one presoaked cotton ball into the cup of the ear just outside the canal area. Wipe until clean using broad strokes according to the size of your pet’s ear. Raise your pets paw and position clippers just above the tip of the nail for trimming. If you are skilled at this task, you may take more liberties. After grooming, give your pet praise and treats to let them know that their grooming is a safe and happy task.
