Product Information
Full details
The Borstiq Banana Brush is an essential grooming tool for equestrians seeking a high-quality, ergonomic solution for daily coat maintenance. Its unique curved shape allows for comfortable handling, making it ideal for thorough grooming sessions without hand fatigue. Featuring natural Mexican fibre bristles, this brush excels at lifting deep-seated dirt and dust, though users should note that the medium-soft texture may require a stiffer brush for removing dried mud or heavy caked-on debris.

FAQs
Is this brush suitable for a horse with sensitive skin?
Yes, the medium-soft Mexican fibre is designed to be gentle, making it a great choice for sensitive horses.
Can I use this to remove thick mud?
No, this brush is designed for dust and light dirt; a stiffer curry comb or dandy brush should be used for heavy mud.
How often should I clean the brush?
It is recommended to clear debris after every grooming session and perform a deeper wash as needed based on use.
Is the brush weather-resistant?
While the materials are high-quality, it is best to store the brush in a dry tack room to preserve the wood and natural fibres.
Does the curved design make it hard to use on flat areas?
Most users find the ergonomic shape actually improves reach and comfort across both flat and contoured body parts.
Troubleshooting
Bristles seem matted or clogged with dust
Tap the brush vigorously against a rubber curry comb or solid edge to dislodge deep-set particles.
Brush feels slippery when damp
Ensure the wooden handle is kept dry; if wet, wipe it down immediately with a clean cloth to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this brush; it is ready to use immediately. It is compatible with all horse coat types, though it is best utilized as part of a multi-brush grooming kit. To maintain the life of the brush, tap it against a hard surface occasionally to remove accumulated dust. If the brush becomes heavily soiled, wash the natural fibres with mild soap and warm water, then allow it to air dry thoroughly with the bristles facing downward to prevent moisture from damaging the wooden handle.
