@horseluvr63 AHAAA! It's Dandy, then body. Also there is not enough time in the world to care for 36 horses....clearly she must half-ass it.

@horseluvr63 nope, it's dandy brush then body brush. the dandy brush has stiff bristles used for removing dirt, and is used after the curry comb. the body brush has softer, finer bristles that are used to make the the coat shine and is used to finish off the horse. curry comb, dandy brush, then body brush.

ok guys. what she is calling a "curry comb" is a shedding blade. shedding blades can be circles, rectangles or tear drop and have a handle usually. if you look at a rubber curry comb, you will see it has a back. shedding blades do NOT have a back so the shedded hair will just fall out of the blade instead of packing itself into the brush (this happens with curry combs). there are metal curry combs out there, but they are for cleaning brushes that have bristles, such as a dandy brush.
