Ever wondered how pro grooms get their horses so shiny? The truth is, it doesn’t come down to using shed loads of products. It’s not even about spending hours on end brushing. After all, there’s no where near enough hours in the day for that! More often than not, less is more! Put simply, great results are achieved by using the right brushes for your horse, in the right order.
Hear us out... While spending £10+ on a single brush may seen a little difficult to justify, when we really think about it, it's not long before they'll be saving us money! Good quality brushes can not only make grooming faster and easier, but they can eliminate the need for countless lotions and potions. Not to mention, they won't need replacing every 5 minutes. So, here we're going to share with you our favourites from top luxury brands like HAAS, Supreme Products and LeMieux.
HAAS
Over recent years we’ve all heard the hype about HAAS, but why exactly have their brushes shot to fame? As a brand, HAAS pride themselves on their tradition, quality and dedication. While they’ve only recently become known to many of us, they were actually founded in 1919 in Germany. To this day, their products are still manufactured in the Black Forrest, using processes that take inspiration from the age old techniques and quality brush craftsmanship that the area is known for. While today many of their brushes are machine made, people are very much still a part of the process. Many tactile and precise steps are done by skilled workers, ensuring perfection is always achieved. All of their products are made using high quality materials, carefully selected and processed for the best results. Take a look at our top HAAS picks….
