I love grooming supplies of all types and was pretty skeptical the first time I saw one of these plastic "magic/miracle" brushes, but for only about 2 bucks I figured I would give them a try. Here is what I found:
Great for:
Removing crusted-on mud from winter coats
Cleaning muddy legs when horses come in from the field
Quick grooming touch ups-fits nicely in your pocket
Brushing off sweaty saddle marks after riding
Removing dried mud/sweat from saddle pads and blankets
Scrubbing buckets/water troughs in a pinch
Not the best for:
Very thin skinned horses-my thin skinned TB actually does not mind if for getting mud off his legs, but he is not a fan on more ticklish spots
Heavy shedding (the hair gets stuck in bristles really easily-I prefer a shedding blade)
Overall I really like this brush and have been using it all winter for quick grooming and removing mud (which we have had an abundance of this year). I will probably use it as a bathing scrubber this summer as well. As you can see in the picture after a winter of constant use some of the bristles along the edges have bent but that doesn't really seem to effect use and hey, it was $2!
Interesting, might give that brush a try! 2 bucks is my kind of price :D
