Find the right horse grooming brush with the help of Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/h2>\n\n\n

When you’re grooming your horse, you probably don’t give much thought to the grooming tools you’re using. The right grooming brush<\/a> can help you get the job done quickly. Plus, it’s essential to have a few different types of brushes and combs in your grooming kit. With the help of Blain’s Farm & Fleet, you can learn more about the different types of grooming brushes and how to pick the right one for your horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rubber Curry Comb <\/strong>– If you have any comb in your grooming kit, it should be a rubber or plastic curry comb<\/a>. It’s used to help loosen up dirt and hair, while also massaging your horse’s skin and helping with oil production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal Curry Comb<\/strong> – Metal curry combs<\/a> are best used for cleaning hair out of other brushes while you’re grooming your horse. If you need to take care of caked-on mud, use a shedding blade rather than a metal curry comb as the sharp metal can potentially cause small cuts on your horse’s skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedding Blade <\/strong>– A shedding blade<\/a> is used to remove loose hair and caked-on mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dandy Brush <\/strong>– After you’ve brought dirt and dust to the coat’s surface, you can use a dandy brush to sweep off any of the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body Brush <\/strong>– A body brush<\/a> is soft, and to be used over your horse’s whole body. Used in long, smooth strokes, a body brush removes dander and dust while making your horse’s coat shine by bringing out natural oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
