Product Information
Full details
The Imperial Riding Dandy Brush is designed for equestrians seeking a reliable and stylish tool to maintain their horse's coat health and appearance. It is an excellent choice for daily grooming to remove dirt and stimulate circulation, though users should note that the stiff synthetic bristles are best suited for medium to heavy shedding periods rather than for use on extremely sensitive or freshly clipped areas.

FAQs
Is this brush safe for use on the horse's face?
No, the bristles are too stiff for the sensitive skin of the face. Use a soft-bristled brush or grooming mitt for those areas.
Can I use this brush on a wet horse?
It is best to use this brush on a dry coat. Using it on a wet horse may cause dirt to smear rather than lift, and can make the bristles harder to clean.
How do I remove trapped hair from the bristles?
You can use a metal curry comb to rake through the bristles, which will lift out trapped hair and debris efficiently.
Does the wooden handle require special storage?
Keep the brush in a dry environment. Excessive moisture can lead to the wood swelling or the lacquer peeling over time.
What is the primary material of the bristles?
The bristles are made from durable synthetic fibers designed for longevity and effective dirt removal.
Troubleshooting
Bristles appearing flattened or bent
Soak the brush in warm water for a few minutes and reshape the bristles by hand, then allow to air dry completely.
Wooden back becoming dull
Lightly wipe the wood with a small amount of wood-safe polish or mineral oil to restore the lacquer finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no setup and is compatible with standard equine grooming routines. To maintain the life of your brush, perform the following care steps:
- Daily Maintenance: After each grooming session, knock the brush against a hard surface to remove trapped hair and dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically wash the bristles in warm, soapy water to remove accumulated grease and sweat. Ensure the brush is completely dry before storage.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the brush in damp, cold tack boxes. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent the wooden back from warping or deteriorating over time.
