Product Information
Full details
The Equissential Flick Brush is an essential grooming tool for horse owners who prioritize a polished, show-ready coat and efficient daily maintenance. Designed for removing stubborn dust and loose debris from the top layer of the horse's coat, it provides an excellent finishing shine with its long, flexible bristles. While it excels at surface grooming and flicking away loose dirt, it is not intended for deep-cleaning mud out of thick undercoats or sensitive skin areas.

FAQs
Can this brush be used on the horse's face?
While the bristles are flexible, they are quite long. Use extreme caution if grooming the face, or consider a much softer face-specific brush for those sensitive areas.
Is this brush effective for thick winter coats?
Yes, the 7cm length of the bristles is well-suited for penetrating deeper into winter hair to flick out loosened debris.
How often should I clean the brush?
For optimal performance, remove trapped hair and dust after every grooming session.
Can I wash the brush with water?
Yes, you can wash it with mild soap and warm water, but ensure you air dry it completely with the bristles facing down.
Is this product suitable for sensitive-skinned horses?
The flexible bristles are gentle; however, always monitor your horse's reaction and use a lighter flicking motion if the horse displays sensitivity.
Troubleshooting
Bristles becoming clumped with dirt
Clean the brush by running a metal curry or grooming rake through the bristles to pull out matted dust and hair.
Handle feeling slippery during use
Ensure your hands and the handle are dry, and consider using a light-grip grooming glove for added stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; the brush is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the integrity of the bristles, avoid leaving the brush submerged in water or cleaning solutions for extended periods, as this can weaken the attachment to the handle. After grooming, tap the brush against a hard surface or use a metal grooming rake to remove trapped hair and dirt. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the bristles from becoming brittle over time.
