Grooming brush shine?

[Lunobl]

Anyone with experience/knowledge of these types of brushes, I’m interested in knowing which would be better suited to shining and acting as a finishing, dust-removing brush for a grey’s coat?

Would goats hair suit or would the lambskin be a better option? ?‍

Remember, shine comes from within. My grey horse had a wonderful shiny coat, despite using rubbish brushes (that he only saw occasionally).

Totally agree thank you, just looking for a nice brush to supplement it and treat her

Hot clothing is the best way of bringing up a shine on a coat, even if a horse is unclipped
Sorry, I don't do fancy grooming brushes!

If your horse is already super clean, I use the HAAS Diva brushes before we go into the ring.

It's just a standard body brush (soft / medium bristle), but with a sheepskin pad in the middle. Excellent for removing those last specs of dust .

I have a haas short bristle brush (white bristles - not sure of name)
but I have to admit it’s a good hot clothing and a vigorous groom with a short brush, not just a nice special brush as much as I wish it was!

brush firmly in direction of coat then about 90 degrees to lie of coat (never backwards) and it lifts a bit of what’s underneath.
Then a very energetic hot clothing with a micro fibre cloth with a tiny bit of fairy liquid in. Rub in different directions.
2nd hot clothing, clean water with baby oil and squirt fairy to get hair to lie in same direction.
I do this 3 days in a row instead of bathing before a show in winter. Only have to wash legs off.

you know you’ve done it right when you’re only wearing one layer by the end of it! ?

I have fed all my horses linseed lozenges, just a handful in a feed which gives horses a wonderful sheen, but my new horse already had an exceptionally shiny coat when he came to me nearly 3 months ago now.

I have a long bristled brush like cross between a dandy brush and a water brush (but not as hard) and use that and a mitt to get the worse of the mud off and then I used a body brush but use it quite hard and vigorously and the oils on the coat come out a bit and cause a good shine.
