You brush (groom) a horse for quite a few reasons. - To keep their coat nice, shiny and clean. A shiny coat is a healthy one! - To stimulate blood flow. - For the same reasons you brush your hair - one is to look good! Who wants a muddy pony? - You need to groom your horse before you ride him. If you have mud or sweat where the bridle or saddle is, it may rub and cause chaffing. - Grooming is a good to to check your horse for cuts, bruises in the hooves, remove bot eggs, etc. - Brushing your horse will also tighten your bond between horse and owner, make his respect for you grow, and teach him to be obedient. Grooming your horse consists of brushing him over with a variety different brushes, combing his mane and tail, picking out his hooves and removing bot eggs, checking for cuts and bruises, and so forth.
You need to groom a horse in order to contain a healthy skin and coat. It helps the coat look shiny and neat + very attractive, I believe it also prevents the horse from having skin problems parasites or irritation. It helps to build a pleasent bond between the horse and person(groom). Grooming is a must for any horse owner it is good for the horse and owner.
Horses have to be groomed to keep them free of diseases and their coats healthy.

That would be a curry comb. You use the brush like this, in case you don't know: Make firm circular motions on the horse's coat. Then, when the dirt/mud/whatever is loosened, use the dandy brush (aka stiff brush) to brush the stuff of. You use that brush with a flick of the wrist.
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.
