Full details
The Imperial Riding Soft Brush is an essential tool for horse owners who prioritize gentle, effective coat maintenance. Designed for all horse breeds and rider hand sizes, it excels at removing fine dust and polishing the coat to a high shine, particularly on delicate areas like the face and legs.

FAQs
Is this brush suitable for a horse with sensitive skin?
Yes, the soft horsehair bristles are specifically designed to be gentle, making it an excellent choice for horses with sensitive skin.
Can I use this on a wet horse?
While it can be used on a damp coat, avoid using it on soaking wet horses to prevent the natural hair bristles from losing their shape.
What is the best way to clean the brush?
Use a mild soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry with the bristles facing down.
Does it fit large hands?
The 21 x 9.5cm size is designed to be ergonomic for most hand sizes, providing a comfortable grip even for larger hands.
Is this brush good for removing mud?
No, this is a soft finishing brush. Use a stiff dandy brush or curry comb to remove heavy mud before using this brush for the final polish.
Troubleshooting
Bristles appearing flattened or matted
Gently comb through the bristles with a wide-tooth grooming pick to separate them and remove trapped hair.
Wooden handle feels slippery
Ensure your hands are clean and dry before use, or wipe the wooden surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated grooming oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no setup and is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard horse grooming kits.
To ensure longevity:
- Daily Maintenance: After each use, tap the brush against your palm or a curry comb to dislodge collected dust.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically wash the bristles with mild, soapy water. Ensure the wooden back does not soak in water to prevent warping. Allow the brush to air dry completely with the bristles facing downward.
- Storage: Use the integrated strap to hang the brush in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the natural bristles.
