That makes it a consumable rather than a tool for life, and it is worth keeping one in the box through the spring moult, when nothing else clears a coat as quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbrasive surface lifts loose hair in quantity during a moult, where a body brush only moves it about.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes dried mud out of the coat without the water and drying time of a wash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatches bot eggs on the legs and shoulders that brushes slide past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWears down gradually to expose fresh surface instead of clogging with hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall enough to work one-handed around the elbow, the girth area and the tops of the legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies through the spring and autumn coat changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClipped and unclipped horses carrying dried mud.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishing after a curry comb and before the body brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for the face, for bony areas or for thin or broken skin — a rubber curry comb such as the Lincoln Rubber Curry Comb is far kinder there.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork on a dry coat.
