FAQs
Is this brush suitable for sensitive horses?
Yes, the soft blend of natural pig and horse bristles is generally gentle enough for most horses, including those with sensitive skin.
Can I use this brush on the horse's face?
While the bristles are soft, it is generally recommended to use a smaller, dedicated soft-face brush for the delicate areas around the eyes and ears.
How do I attach the hand strap?
The strap is pre-attached to the wooden base and is designed to fit comfortably over your hand while you grip the brush.
Will the wood crack if it gets wet?
If exposed to excessive water or left in a damp environment, the wooden back may crack or warp. Always wipe it dry after cleaning.
Is this brush effective for removing heavy mud?
No, this is a finishing brush. Use a stiff dandy brush first to remove heavy mud, then follow with the Kincade Deluxe for polishing.
What is the best way to store the brush?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the wood from drying out and the bristles from losing their shape.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are becoming matted with hair and dust.
Use a metal curry comb or a cleaning rake to gently comb through the bristles after each grooming session.
The wooden handle feels rough or dry.
Occasionally apply a small amount of wood conditioner or food-grade mineral oil to the wooden back to maintain its integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this brush; it is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all horse breeds and coat lengths. To care for the brush, regularly tap it against a clean surface to dislodge dust. If you must wash it, use a mild, horse-safe shampoo and warm water. Ensure that you do not soak the wooden back in water, as this can cause it to split or warp. Always allow the brush to air dry completely with the bristles facing downward to prevent moisture from entering the wooden handle.
