FAQs
Is this brush safe for sensitive horses?
Yes, the bristles are designed to minimize pulling, making it much more comfortable for horses that are sensitive to grooming.
Can I use this brush on the horse's body?
While it is specifically optimized for manes and tails, the soft-action bristles are generally safe for the horse's body, though it is not a primary curry comb.
How do I best clean the brush?
Simply remove loose hair and wash with warm water and a mild detergent; let it air dry completely.
Will the gel handle leak if punctured?
The gel is a solid-state material within the coating, not a liquid, so it will not leak.
Is the brush effective on wet hair?
Yes, the brush is highly effective on wet hair, and the handle maintains a secure grip even when wet.
Can I use this on different breeds?
Yes, it is suitable for all horse breeds regardless of hair texture or thickness.
Troubleshooting
Brush handle feels slightly sticky after storage
Clean the gel handle with a mild soap and water solution and dry thoroughly to remove oils or environmental residue.
Difficulty removing stubborn, deeply embedded burrs
Apply a coat of detangler or hair conditioner to the tail first, then use the brush in smaller, controlled sections starting from the ends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all horse breeds and hair types, including fine or thick manes. To ensure longevity, rinse the brush in warm, soapy water after use to remove hair and dirt buildup. Avoid leaving the brush submerged in water for extended periods, as this can affect the gel casing. Store the brush in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the gel material from becoming brittle or sticky over time.
