Bristle Stiffness
Made to lightly dust, spread natural oils, and polish the horse's coat, these brushes are gentle on skin and hair. Bristles bend easily and flick dust and debris off. They can also be called "finishing" brushes.
Often containing multiple bristle materials, these brushes dust while also grabbing larger chunks of debris. Medium brushes are tougher on grime, skin, and hair yet still have flexible bristles.
Meant for raking dirt and debris off the coat, these bristles are not flexible and are toughest on skin and hair. Large clumps of debris and loose hair get trapped in the inflexible bristles and are brushed off.
Crafted in Germany, the Haas Schimmel Grooming Body Brush is a handy addition to any grooming kit! Featuring dense and stiff coconut fiber incorporated directly within the shatter-resistant body of the brush, there is no need for nails or glue which means exceptional longevity and better safety for horse and rider. This brush works exceptionally well on grey and white horses and is perfect for working stains out of the coat.

Additional Information
Cleaning Instructions:
The brushes from HAAS can be washed in the washing machine in a closed pillow cover or wash bag without any problems in up to 86 Fahrenheit water temperature with a disinfection washing agent or a normal cleaner that does not contain a softener or abrasive ingredients. Please pay attention that the washing machine is not too empty as it can result in damage to the brushes. The better option is to wash the brushes by hand under lukewarm water. Apply a mild shampoo without softener and rinse well. Please allow the brushes to dry slowly (do not put on a heating device or in the sun).

Comments: I really like this brush. It's very stiff and gets a lot of hair and mud off. However, it is specifically designed for grays and whites, and when I used it on my mostly white appy mare, the results were not exactly what I had hoped for. While it was stiff, which was nice for working out the stains, it didn't do anything more than my regular stiff dandy brush to the stains. I might have gotten my hopes up too high and thought that I was getting a magic brush, but still, if I'm going to spend a lot more money than I would on a dandy brush I would like the brush to serve it's intended purpose.

Comments: I don't know what magic is in this brush, but it lives up to the hype! My gelding loves mud, so this got put to the test shortly after getting it, and I've been really happy with it. It works SO well at getting dirt and loose hair off (maybe too well, because of my sensitive princess objects to it a little, but it's his own fault for covering himself in muck).

Comments: I was so excited to use this brush- it came highly recommended. I brushed both a bay horse and a grey horse with it. I felt like it really did a great job at cleaning my bay, though I did spend extra time grooming her and used the brush in all different directions, as per the videos I saw on Youtube. I used it in sequence- curry, schimmel, gloss and she looked shiny and felt clean. HOWEVER the quality is NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. With every stroke, the coconut fibers came loose or broke off. I followed the directions for "cleaning" it by swiping it with the curry every 5-10 strokes and this too broke many of the fibers. Also noticed that the brush backing has knicks in it on the edges. Poor quality control I have had my previous hard brushes for over 10 years. I doubt this one will last even one year. When I groomed my gray, she had some stains on her legs and one on her neck. It helped loosen the neck stain but not the legs. I feel like I got the same performance from my other, cheapie brushes as far as stain removal. They do not recommend using hot water or disinfectants to clean the brush so I am not sure I can use it when my horse has fungus. Overall I am underwhelmed with this brush.
