Oster Stiff Grooming Horse Brush Pink

Ignore the negative comments--I don't know how it works for dry grroming but it is fabulous during a shower for getting rid of saddle marks or a bath to gently get shampoo down to the root Its bristles are just firm enough to lift the hairs so the water goes under but soft enough to carry the suds. We don't go into the wash stall without it.

This brush has stood up to near daily use on 6 different horses for about 15 years. Easy to wash, and well-designed. Works great on my current gelding during the winter (he looks like a woolly mammoth), and it's great for summer bathing when he has caked on dirt.

I have used this brush for many years. If mine weren't taken, it would not have needed to be re-ordered. Stays stiff and is comfortable in the hand.

I have a little obsession over grooming kits/supplies--I just love them! I've always known Oster to be a good brand of grooming supplies, but it was a little expensive. I've read many mixed reviews leaving me a little skeptical, but I took a chance! My horse has a medium thick coat and it was perfect for scrubbing dirt away before a ride or scrubbing soap into his coat for a bath. The bristles have held up very well so far, not a single break or bend! The appearance is very sharp, clean, and it looks professional. It's very easy to hold and soft in your hand. I would definitely recommend this! Everyone knows horse supplies can sometimes come at a price. Nothing is more disappointing than spending the money on a product you're excited to use and it leaves you feeling disappointed. You'll never have to worry about this! It's a little expensive, but if it lasts a long time and it works great it's worth it!

The quality of this brush looks good, but between the bristles being somewhat soft (for a medium brush) and the body of the brush being fairly narrow, it has a pretty wimpy feel to it. It has found its way out of my grooming box and is used more for scrubbing boots and other equipment.

This brush is extremely dense and has very hard bristles. I bought it for my thick skinned pony and even he isn't a big fan of it. I do love Oster brushes but I'd pick something different for my stiff brush if I were shopping again.

This brush is okay as a finishing brush but not much else. It's a little too stiff to brush the face, but it's not stiff enough to brush dried mud off of the coat, so unless you're just giving your horse a quick groom without worrying about getting too much of the dirt off, I guess it's ok but not great for much else.

I won this at a show and used it for a few days and the bristles began to split and get really frizzy and weird at the base. I'm not sure how to explain it but I expected it to last longer. I stopped using it and it sat in my tack trunk for a couple years until my Mom started to use it with her new horse. It is a nice brush if you look past the frizzy and split bristles at the base! But since I won it and didn't spend any of my own money on it, I cant complain! I might buy another one of their products again.

I've got small hands and couldn't keep ahold of this brush - either my hands would spasm from trying to keep a grip on it or I'd lose my grip and send it flying down the aisle. The bristles are synthetic/plastic which I'm not a fan of. It seems to be a sturdy brush though.

This is a very nice finishing brush, but it is way too soft for a body brush. Too bad, I like the nice thick bristles, but now I need to buy still another brush because I needed a stiff, not a soft brush.
