Dandy Brush with Stiff PVC Bristles

This is the brush you reach for when the mud has dried and the curry isn't cutting it. Stiff PVC bristles bite into dirt and sweat without wearing out your wrist, and the block sits in your hand at 8-1/2 inches long and 2-3/8 inches wide so you can keep pressure where you need it. Use it on the body, then tap it out and put it back in the tote. It suits a horse that comes in from turnout with a crusted coat, and it earns its keep through show season and muddy winter alike.

Highlights

• Stiff PVC bristles tackle dried mud and sweat
• Hand-sized block for steady pressure
• 8-1/2 in. block for a full stroke
• 2-3/8 in. wide block that sits steady in your hand
• Easy to tap clean between passes

Good to know

• Knock off the worst mud first, then work in short strokes with the grain so the stiff bristles clear the rest.
• A stiff brush is for the body; switch to a soft brush on the face and bony spots.
• Tap the block out after each use so dust doesn't pack between the bristles.

Add one to the grooming tote before the next muddy turnout.
