I'm after a couple of new grooming brushes. I prefer plastic ones that I can wash rather than leather or wood that split when they get wet.
I currently have bentley slip not pro brushes but having problems with my hands and grip, I'm finding they are getting difficult to hold comfortably and I tend to spend more time picking them up of the floor than actually using them!
I've spent the best part of a day traipsing around the local saddleries and looking on line for something better. But to no avail!
I've come across the KBF99 brushes and they look quite nice! I'm not interested in the antibacterial properties of them but I'm posting to see if any one on here has any and what they think of them regarding grippyness, shape and size etc...... Are they hard and smooth or do they have a rubbery texture to them?

I also am interested. Have a a bentely grooming kit atm but I find it useless. Have read lots of good reviews about KBF99 but not seen one in the flesh so to speak.

would be interested to see them - my problem is the size of brushes as I am quite small with small hands. Many brushes are just so big they are hard to use and for some reason children's ones aren't such good quality.

Nice brushes I have some the body brush is pretty comfy to hold I haven't dropped it yet but it is still a bit hard for my liking. I love my old leather back body brush for comfort and ease of use. The dandy brush is again quite hard on the hand but is not bad I would say similar to the one you mentioned though.

I've a bucket full of various brushes but the ones I find the best are people's (human's) hairbrushes, the paddle type. I find them comfy to hold, easy to clean and they do every thing from coat to tails… and can also use them on my own hair in an emergency lol!

I purchased after Mayfly got ringworm. Really pleasantly surprised with the quality and ergonomics. I'm going to gradually replace brushes as replace now.

That's the issue I have and kids brushes def not as good quality. |

I find that too. (I have small, square hands). Lots of tack shops stock then now so it might be worth phoning around and having a hold to find out if they suit.

I have pretty bad arthritis in my hands, and not much grip. I have a few of the Oster brushes, a soft body brush, a harder body brush, and the mane and tail brush, which I love. Quite expensive, but I like them. They used to do, not sure if they still do, a couple of them in 2 different sizes, if you have small hands. x

I bought them because a pony I had at the time was struggling with a skin condition. The brushes didn't help with the condition at all and I dont find them comfortable to use or nice to handle. I wouldn't buy them again, these are sitting here like new because I don't like them. Also once you get them home the ticket on them tells you that you need to replace them every year! Sheesh I've got brushes from both me and my husband that we had from being teenagers which makes them over thirty years old!

Didn't know they had to be replaced yearly, makes it rather expensive. |

I recommend the magic brush. I am slightly obsessed with a good grooming brush! I have small hands and this is easy to grip. It seems to work as a dandy, rubber curry comb or plastic curry comb and you can use it on the face mane tail and legs. My horse loves it.
