Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Hard Wood Long Hair Brush is an essential grooming tool for horse owners who prioritize quality and durability in their stable maintenance routine. Designed specifically for the long hair of a horse's mane and tail, it features high-quality synthetic bristles that effectively detangle and smooth without causing breakage. While the genuine wood construction offers a premium feel and a secure grip, users should be mindful that the natural material requires proper storage away from extreme moisture to prevent weathering.

FAQs
Can I use this brush on my horse's body?
This brush is designed specifically for long hair like the mane and tail; it may be too stiff for the horse's sensitive body skin.
Is the brush waterproof?
While the bristles are synthetic, the body is made of genuine wood and should not be submerged or left in wet conditions.
How do I remove deeply embedded dirt from the bristles?
Use a specialized brush cleaner or a metal curry comb to rake through the bristles from base to tip.
What is the total length of the brush?
The brush back measures 18 cm in length.
Is the leather strap adjustable?
The leather loop is fixed in size but provides a generous opening for a comfortable grip.
Troubleshooting
Bristles become flattened or splayed
Store the brush with the bristles facing upward or hanging so that nothing exerts constant pressure on them.
Leather strap feels brittle or dry
Clean the leather with a soft cloth and apply a leather conditioner to restore flexibility.
Wood surface feels rough
Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a wood-safe oil if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon removal from the packaging. To maintain the longevity of the tool, clean the brush after each use by removing hair from the bristles using a curry comb or by hand. Because the handle is made from genuine wood, avoid leaving it in damp tack rooms or soaking it in water, as this may cause the wood to warp or the grain to raise. If the leather strap becomes stiff, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to keep it supple. Store in a dry area when not in use.
