How to use it

Soft strokes around the eyes and muzzle.

Last brush of the set

Use it once the body is clean, so no grit reaches the face.
2

Slow, soft strokes

Follow the hair around the eyes, ears, muzzle and forelock.
3

Let your horse settle

Start on the cheek and move in slowly — ideal for head-shy horses.
4

Keep it for the face

Use it only on the face so it stays clean and soft.

Care & maintenance

Keep it working for years.

General guidance for natural-fibre brushes.

After each use

Knock the brush against a hard surface or comb it with a curry comb to clear hair and dust.
Wash occasionally

Lukewarm water and mild soap on the bristles only — keep the wood and leather as dry as possible.
Dry bristles-down

Let it air-dry bristles-down, away from direct heat or sun, so water doesn’t sit in the wood.
Store in the bag

The leather bag keeps it dry, clean and in shape between uses.
