One type of brush that is used is a dandy brush, which is also known as a hard-bristle brush. This brush is used to remove the dirt, clumps of hair, and other material stirred up by a curry comb. These brushes are used in short strokes from front to back in the direction of the horses hair growth. The best quality of these brushes are made of rice beams. Dandy brushes can also be used as a water brush. This is when the brush is damped in water and used to wet down the mane and tail of the horse.

Body brushes are also used in the grooming process. These brushes are soft-bristled and used to remove fine particles and dust which adds a shine to the horses coat and also gives the horse a nice soothing feeling. A body brush can also be used on the head of a horse. These brushes are made of boar bristles like some human hair brushes, and some soft synthetic materials.
