Special thanks to Hamilton Pets for providing a sample GROOMA medium bristle horse grooming brush to test out with our horses.
It was a beautiful day outside today. The sun was shining, but there were a few clouds in the sky to help keep the sun from constantly beating down on us. A nice breeze was blowing. It was the perfect day for a thorough grooming of the horses. They are both shedding their winter coats. Dixie had a much thicker coat than Phantom, so she’s shedding like crazy.
The horses were quite mellow when we headed outside, but they got rather excited when they saw they were in for some pampering. Phantom, being his normal self, decided to stand further out at first just to see what we were up to before he made his way over to us. Dixie, on the other hand, when right up to Munchkin and immediately relaxed as the brushing began. Soon, she was dozing off as Munchkin continued to brush her. Yes, she was loving this new brush.
It didn’t take long for Phantom to decide that he wanted in on the grooming. In fact, he started trying to steal the brush from Munchkin as she was brushing Dixie. He kept at it until Munchkin groomed him for a little while.
He loved this brush. Normally, we’ll use a soft brush on his face, but the long bristles on this medium brush were a big hit, and he didn’t want Munchkin to stop. She spent a good bit of time going back and forth between the two horses. Needless to say, the horses love this brush. It’s a good fit for both my hand and Munchkin’s hand, but it’s a little small for Daddy’s hand. He prefers something a little larger.
The brush did a great job getting rid of a lot of Dixie’s winter coat. She was certainly happy and content with the entire process.
The brush was firm enough that I was even able to use it on Phantom’s mane to get some of the dirt out of it. He did not want his grooming session to end.
The GROOMA Medium Bristle Horse Grooming Brush has a comfort, non-slip grip with finger indents. The 3/4 sized brush was the perfect size for my hands as well as Munchkin’s hands. The little indents make it easier to hold the brush. The horses loved the long, medium bristles. If you have larger hands, like my husband, you’ll probably prefer a full-sized brush. The brush is well made and looks like it will hold up well to routine use with our horses.
