Haas Brushes for Greys

Embo said:
I have a few Haas brushes, the Schimmel and Parcour are a good combo on my filthy grey. I have another 2, but can't remember their names (I think one is a Lippizaner) - they are softer so don't use them as regularly! But still very nice.

As another poster said, they are not a magic wand, but they are very nice brushes. You still need plenty of elbow grease to get a good result!

I have used all of my brushes with a metal curry comb with no ill-effect.

Schimmel is definitely on my list then :D
 
I have been looking at these too and just cannot decide whether they are worth it! I've seen a few adverts on facebook come up but I'm still dithering!!

I also own a grey who wishes to be a bay/brown/black horsey instead (why do we buy greys?!)

Cos they look soooooo pretty! :-)
 
I have a bunch of them (some bought from horze) and the schimmel is excellent and one of my schooling liveries is a stable stain piglet and it is very good at cleaning them up without needing a bath.
 
I have some. the Schimmel is the most useful one in my humble opinion

They are only as good as the effort you put in - one of the people advertising them hints that they make grooming effortless. they certainly do not but for me they make grooming more of a pleasure with better results
 
Definitely get the schimmel then if you like it buy more.

I really like them but I think most of them are very similar.

I got a few from Equiclusive. However the delivery was incredibly slow. It says up to two weeks but after 12 working days I emailed them and miraculously they were dispatched the next day. I also ordered a grooming bag from them at the same time, the incorrect bag turned up. Upon informing them of the mistake they said that the bag I wanted was out of stock and not coming back into stock. But if I wanted to return (at my own expense) they'd refund the bag. But not the postage.
 
Thanks all for your responses.

I think I will definitely buy the Schimmel and see how I get on with that :)

Why oh why did I have another grey??? :D after years of a Cremello Mud monster and then a spotty coloured pony who was predominantly grey you would have thought I would have learned my lesson! but she does look soooo pretty (when she's clean)

Think I will order from Horze though, thanks for the heads up re slow delivery with Eqclusive
 
You guys are costing me soo much money! After all the good reviews on here about the brushes I've finally given in and bought a couple :p

Considering I haven't bought a brush in about 5 years - majority of mine are what I've won in competitions - I felt it was ok to splurge a little!
Now I'm going to have to get a separate box to put them into to keep them good :p
 
Oooops!! I've just treated myself to the Schimmel and the Welsh. Been having a bad day and needed a pick me up :D I have been courting new brushes for a while, and when I thought about it I've had my old brushes for years so they will be an investment?!?!
 
Oooops :D I have invested in a Schimmel and a Goat gloss brush also!

Have been advised that a Lipizzaner and a Diva would complete my collection, but I will wait and see how I get on with the other two first :)
 
I have just ordered the Schimmel… I didn't mean to, I clicked on the 'buy now' button accidentally.
Never mind, it's Friday, I deserve a treat :D

I have the Schimmel and a Diva. I love them both :) The Schimmel drags up all the scurf and the Diva makes him glow. He is very shiny looking anyway, but its just hidden under a layer of grime normally :lol: They really arent much more than normal brushes. I've had mine since Feb time I think and they have stood up well to my abuse :)
 
Just to show you what actually happens when you use the brushes! Mine arrived today and thought would try on Bill to see if any difference. His normal groom routine is a quick dandy brush over body and feet picked out in am. Top pic is him straight from field.
Second pic is after approx 10mins using the schimmel, Welsh and then cavallo one. Some difference, but not a Huge difference. The schimmel feels like a stiff dandy brush in body brush form, the Welsh and cavallo are similar & feel like a stiffer body brush. Think if I had got the diva brush then it would have had more of a "buffing" effect on the coat! He does enjoy grooming, gets very relaxed :p

If I was doing it again, I would buy the schimmel, cavallo and then the diva :)
 
Looks like he enjoyed it �� Sorry I couldn't resist.

I'm debating the schemiel for bringing up the dirt that I can see when looking down the hair on the horses bum standing behind the horse. From the sides they look shiny but that butt holds the dirt.
 
How is everyone finding their brushes. I found a cavaliere from robinsons which was cheap at £6.95 and it feels nice and stiff to get dirt out of the coat.
