Hi everyone,
I looking to invest in some nice grooming brushes for my TB x mare. I was just wondering what everyone's favourites were and some good brands to look at. I mean there are so many!

Thank you!!
 
Haas brushes have a good reputation. Pricey, but there have been a few threads on them in the past and people have always talked highly of them!!

I keep meaning to buy some but just have not got round to spending the money on them!
 
Haas are my favourite, and not all that expensive really, just don't buy the "packages"; one at a time they are more or less the same as any other good natural bristle brush.
 
The *best* brush? Quite honestly the plastic scrubbing type brush you can get from poundland. Identical to a magic brush but £1 not £8. Gets through anything - from dried on mud to hairs on the show jacket. An absolute gem of a multi functional brush. (Magic brushes aren't bad either!).

I have to say I'm not a fan of "best" brushes. I don't think the horse cares overmuch. You want something reasonably well made - so it won't fall apart too quickly - and that fits both your hand shape and the coat type you want to work on. If it does the job the horse will be happy. And you won't break your heart (or your bank balance) over it if it falls in the water bucket, gets stood on, or goes mysteriously missing in the way things sometimes do.
 
Haas are my favourite. I also like Salmon brushes, I have loads of Oster but like some of them more than others, Roma Soft grip flex body brush is a favourite of little people who visit the yard, I bought a wonderful Stubben body brush and if my hand was the size of a man's hand I am sure it would be wonderful

Was also sent a gift brush at Christmas which I seem to use endlessly from below link, but its wooden backed so not sure what happens when I want to wash it but I am impressed by the results

I love magic brushes as well. They work so well on the mud on her legs. Her welsh side makes them quite hairy. XD

yup, that! I really rate them just dont fall for all the hype about colours and dont buy from eqclusive!
 
I tried the Haas Schimmel on my skewbald after many people on here said it was good, as although he doesn't have a long coat, it's very thick and the bits I don't clip can get scurfy ... didn't find a normal dandy brush would flick it out but the Schimmel does. Plus he luuurves it and closes his eyes and sticks his top lip out when you use it.

AS an aside, I'm still using body brushes brought in the late 1970's (from S Milners & Son, Leicester *waves to those in the East Mids*) and they're in great condition, so sometimes it is worth paying a bit more for longevity.


As Mr B tells me ... ;)
