FAQs
Is this brush safe for the horse's frog?
Yes, provided it is used gently. The bristles are stiff enough to clean but safe for the tough tissue of the hoof.
Can I use this brush on the horse's coat?
No, the bristles are too stiff for the horse's sensitive skin and coat. It should be reserved strictly for hoof maintenance.
Does this include a metal hoof pick?
No, this product is a dedicated hoof brush only.
How do I sanitize the brush?
You can wash the brush with mild disinfectant soap and warm water, then allow it to air dry fully.
Will the plastic bristles melt or warp?
The bristles are durable, but avoid leaving the brush in direct, high-intensity sunlight for extended periods or near extreme heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are clogged with thick, sticky mud
Tap the back of the brush against a hard surface to dislodge debris, or soak in warm soapy water for five minutes before scrubbing with another brush.
Brush feels slippery during use
Ensure the ergonomic handle is wiped free of grease or grooming oil, as these can coat the plastic and reduce your grip.
