Hi, I’m considering getting some Haas brushes…. I have 2 bay cobs that need a good grooming prior to clipping as no facilities to wash them.
I’m looking at “ Schimmel, Diamond diva, new generation Curry comb, Mane and tail,and not sure if I need Military and Parcour” too?
Not sure if I need them all, or even what order to use them, but I need something that will get as clean as possible as I recently blunt my new clipper blades after grooming until coats gleaming… but sadly dirty underneath 😩

They are good brushes in a world where good brushes are not longer easy to get .
If I only got one I would have a schimmel it’s a great all rounder .

I have 2 Haas brushes after people raved about them on H&H forum. I used them on a fine coated Andalusian type grey. But for all the Irish horses I have loved and ridden regularly, including the current one, I use my Oster brushes. They are Western style, easy for elderly hands to grip and I love the fine soft curry pad. You can also wash them.

Depends on your horse. For a fine skinned tb I use the Fellglantz/gloss brush and the curry comb more than anything. I have the military and cavalliere but I tend to use one or the other when particularly dirty/winter coat. He wouldn't tolerate anything harsher like the schimmel or Mustang. Got the mane and tail with the set but personally wouldn't bother with it if I was buying separately.

There are other good quality brushes out there but I replaced some bog standard ones and an Oster one so saw a big improvement.

This. They are lovely brushes, exactly like the brushes you used to be able to buy in any saddlers a few decades ago. You still need to use a bit of elbow grease with them. I use the Militaire most and then the Schimmel and the Parcour. I wouldn't bother buying any other brushes these days.
