Softest brush for removing mud or other ideas?

[Clippy]

We have a very ticklish chestnut mare She really takes exception to having her legs and belly brushed and it makes it hard work. I've got a lovely, soft body brush but she's not impressed and most of the time all I can do is stroke and gently rub her legs with my hands.

Any tips? I can't avoid mud as she hunts every week and gets turnout on decent days but i'm struggling to clean her up after an outing!

Get some of these... http://www.lulusoso.com/upload/20120314/Mesh_Scrubber_pad_Sponge.jpg

Te scourer sponge pads, soft but super good at getting mud off everything. We use then on their faces, can wipe over their eyes without hurting them.

Agree with Riderlizzie. We have used a variation of what she suggested for years now, and found them really good for getting all the mud off, and can be used gently round eyes and sensitive areas.

I use these and they are great for getting mud off ,but gentle .

I use the mitts that are fleece one side & cactus cloth the other.

I use one of these to get mud off, ours like a massage with it and it feels different from a brush, depends on whether the horse just doesn't like a brush or doesn't like grooming at all.

I use a cactus cloth (either just the cloth, or a mitt) for ticklish types. They seem to prefer a hand rather than a brush, I think, and the cloths are great for removing mud. They get into all the nooks and crannys, too!

another vote for cactus cloth

This type of glove works well

A natural bristle water brush, a cactus cloth or a handful of straw. You could also try an handful of hay.

I use one of these his muddy face and ears, then go over after with a body brush. http://www.equinesuperstore.co.uk/r...=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=standard

He's not too sensitive on his body thankfully, so I usually rubber curry comb followed by body brush
