Full details
The Waldhausen Cuddle and Shine Brush - S is designed for horse owners and riders who prioritize coat health and a professional, mirror-like finish. This compact brush uses soft, dense goat hair bristles to buff the horse's coat, providing both a grooming tool for shine and a soothing experience for the animal. While it is excellent for finishing touches and sensitive areas, its soft bristles are not intended for removing caked-on mud or heavy dirt.

FAQs
Is this brush safe to use on a horse's face?
Yes, the soft goat hair bristles are specifically designed to be gentle enough for sensitive areas like the face.
Can I use this to clean off mud?
No, this brush is intended for finishing and polishing. Use a stiff brush or curry comb to remove mud first.
How long is the brush handle?
The brush back measures 12.5 cm in length.
Is this suitable for a horse with sensitive skin?
Absolutely. The softness of the goat hair makes it one of the best choices for horses that are easily irritated by stiff brushes.
How do I best clean the wooden handle?
Wipe the wooden handle with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid submerging it in water to prevent the wood from warping.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are shedding significantly
Some shedding is natural with new natural fiber brushes. If it persists, avoid pulling on the bristles or soaking the wood in water.
Brush smells or looks dull after use
Clean the brush with mild soap and warm water to remove trapped oils and sweat, then allow it to air dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly; it is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain the longevity of the natural goat hair and wood handle, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: After each use, tap the brush against a hard surface (not the horse) to knock out loose dust. Use a metal curry comb to gently remove trapped hair from the bristles.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wooden handle from drying out or cracking.
- Washing: If the bristles become soiled with sweat or oils, wash them using a mild horse-safe shampoo. Ensure you rinse the bristles thoroughly and lay the brush on its side (bristles facing down) to dry completely, ensuring the wood does not remain wet for extended periods.
