Product Information
Full details
The Imperial Riding Soft Brush is an essential grooming tool for horse owners who prioritize coat health and shine. Designed with high-quality soft horse hair bristles, it excels at lifting fine dust and finishing the grooming process for a polished appearance. While it is perfect for daily use, it is specifically intended for light cleaning and should not be used as a replacement for stiff brushes designed to remove caked-on mud or heavy debris.

FAQs
Can I use this brush on a muddy horse?
It is not recommended for heavy mud. It is best to remove large dirt clods with a stiff brush first, then use this soft brush for finishing.
How often should I clean the brush?
We recommend removing hair after every grooming session and performing a deep wash once a month depending on usage.
Is this brush safe for sensitive horses?
Yes, the soft horse hair bristles are specifically designed to be gentle and non-irritating for sensitive skin.
Can the brush get wet?
While it can handle slight moisture during grooming, avoid submerging the wooden handle in water to prevent potential cracking or warping.
What are the exact dimensions of the brush?
The brush measures 21cm in length, 9.5cm in width, and 4cm in height.
Troubleshooting
Bristles appearing matted or dirty
Wash the bristles in lukewarm water with mild equine shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry with the bristles facing downward.
Leather strap feels stiff
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner to keep the strap supple and prevent cracking.
Wood handle feels dry
Lightly buff the wood with a soft cloth and a tiny amount of food-safe mineral oil to nourish the grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Imperial Riding Soft Brush; it is ready to use immediately. To maintain the brush, regularly remove hair and debris from the bristles using a metal cleaning rake or by tapping the brush against a hard surface. Store the brush in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wooden back from warping. Use the integrated leather strap to hang the brush in your tack box or grooming station to ensure it remains clean and protected when not in use.
