They are brilliant!
Multiple uses including :
Use when bathing to really lift the dirt out of the mane/coat.
Removing hair from saddlecloths (especially useful when moulting!)
Brushing mud off horse & out of mane/feathers ( I have a traditional cob & a NF)
We sell them singly in our tack shop for £4.25 each & we sell loads!

Love mine gets mud off in seconds from a TB that hates being brushed. Tried one on myself before using it on the horses it made an excellent back scratcher:)

Mine isn't great at getting great dried clumps of clay mud off of the cobs but for the face and lighter 'layers' of mud it's great :) Also good for scrubbing the soles of their feet after you hoof pick to get them really clean !

Just been using mine and must say I do like it and it does seem to get the dried mud off all parts really quickly but what I like most is it's really light to hold so your hand/arm doesn't get tired doing the whole horse. Also used it to to brush a patch of vary thick dried mud off her rug and can it see having multiple uses.

Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know why they come in packs of three? I don't get it.. lol

Cos they're grossly over priced. You can get a 'magic' brush from an old fashioned hardware store for about 50p. They're household scrubbing brushes. Good marketing, though, give them their due.

Good for getting mud off faces - and I have a couple of horses who think that a mud face pack is de rigeur - is a dog brush, you know, the ones with round tip bristles with the blobs on the end.

Like almost everyone here says - brilliant. I use on horse, tack, woolly dog (poodle/springer cross), clothes - anything. Very handy size, light, cleans with a curry comb like a body brush, or goes in the machine if necessary. Pack of 3 is handy because if I only had one I'd lose it - already lost one of my 3 :-(

They're great for quickly removing dried on clumps of mud, but for legs and faces, I tend to use a rubber grooming mitt. Magic brushes are useful for removing the initial layer of mud, but to lift the grime from the coat, you still need elbow grease and a dandy brush, followed by a body brush.
