Hard Brush and Dandy Brush: The Same Use?

Question

I was wondering if the dandy brush and hard brush do the same thing? Can you use them for the same thing?

Answer 1

I think it depends. I always knew of dandy brushes as soft brushes and hard brushes as body brushes. I looked up the definition on line and found examples of both soft and hard brushes described as Dandy brushes. bit confusing eh?

Answer 2

Yes, they are the same thing.  They are both hard-bristled and used for the same thing, just two different terms, like soft brush and finishing brush.

Answer 3

to what i am aware of, yes they are the same type of brush, and they do the same thing, just people have different names for it

Answer 4

Yep, they are the same thing.

curry comb (rubber/plastic/metal), hard brush (dandy/mud), soft brush (fine/face), and hoof pick.

And lots of specialty brushes for everything you could possibly imagine!

Answer 5

BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH!!!:

1.curry comb used to do circles on the horse to lift the dust

2. hard brush other wise known as the dandy brush is used in a flick motion to remove dust and dirt lifted by curry comb

3.then u get your soft brush and brush all the dirt away left behind plus also used to make the horse shiny!!!!

Answer 6

If I remember right a dandy brush is just another name for a hard brush.  There is also a soft brush and body brush.  You want to use the hard brush first as it gets the deep dirt out.  A soft fine brush should be used after to help get the smaller dust particles out.  They are sometimes called a polishing brush because they get the dust off which will give the coat its final shine.

Answer 7

No.

A hard brush is a cleaning brush used for removing excessive dirt, dried mud etc.

A dandy brush is a soft finishing brush.

This would be the last brush to use to finish the grooming process and to bring up the sheen on the coat, and is used in a soft flicking motion to remove any last remaining specks of dirt.
