Body brushes, dandy brushes, curries and a shedding blade

    The Cavalier Edit

    A Cavalier grooming kit, built tool by tool

    The numbered sections cover Cavalier body brushes, dandy brushes, curries and the shedding blade, hay feeders for the stall, and which tools suit a first kit or a barn.

    Cavalier Picador MultiColor Body Brush

    Body brushes

    Cavalier body brushes for sensitive skin, shine and daily use

    Cavalier body brushes start with the Softouch Flexible Body Brush, which has a flexible back and a nylon hand strap for a horse with sensitive skin. The Picador MultiColor Body Brush and the Picador Crimped Bristel Body Brush are synthetic options with hand straps, the crimped one with medium bristles and a natural wood back.

    For shine, the Picador Goat Hair Body Brush uses natural goat bristles on a wood back; the vendor calls goat hair the gold standard for brushes. Look elsewhere if you want a brush set with a case: Cavalier sells these as single tools.

    Cavalier Picador Medium Bristle Dandy Brush

    Dandy brushes

    Cavalier dandy brushes in soft, medium and stiff bristles

    Cavalier dandy brushes cover the coat range: the Picador Soft Bristle Dandy Brush has soft nylon bristles and a wooden handle, the Picador Medium Bristle Dandy Brush uses medium synthetic bristles for daily dust, and the Picador Stiff Bristle Dandy Brush has stiff nylon bristles for caked mud on a thick coat.

    The Picador Goat Hair Dandy Brush swaps in goat hair bristles on a natural wood back. Look elsewhere if your horse is clipped or very sensitive: choose the soft dandy or the Softouch line instead of the stiff one.

    Cavalier Spring Steel Curry

    Curries

    Cavalier curry combs and a shedding blade for spring coats

    Cavalier curry combs start with the Plastic Curry Comb, a flexible plastic curry with a back handle, and the Plastic Curry w/Hose Attachment, which adds a hose attachment for bath day. The Spring Steel Curry has four flexible steel rings and an ergonomic plastic handle.

    When the coat blows, the Shedding Blade has a stainless steel blade and molded handles, and the Metal Curry/Scraper/Comb combines a metal curry or shedder, a comb and a handle in one tool. Look elsewhere if your horse is clipped or very sensitive: the steel tools are for thick coats, and a soft brush suits that horse better.

    Cavalier Hay Net

    Hay feeders

    Cavalier hay nets and slow feed balls for the stall

    The Cavalier Hay Net is a standard nylon net with larger openings, and the vendor notes it is not a slow feeder. For slower feeding, the Holland Slow Feed Hay Ball is made of natural rubber and includes a hanging rope.

    The Holland Maximus Fun Ball has elastic loops for attaching hay or carrots and is made for boredom in the stable. Look elsewhere if you need a small-hole slow feed net: the Cavalier Hay Net is not one.

    Cavalier Picador Stiff Bristle Dandy Brush

    Who it's for

    Who Cavalier grooming supplies suit, from first kit to barn

    Cavalier grooming supplies suit a rider assembling a first kit: a dandy brush, a body brush and a curry cover the basics, and the Picador Medium Bristle Dandy Brush is a neutral place to start. Riders with a sensitive horse can add the Softouch Medium Bristle Dandy Brush, and those chasing shine can add goat hair.

    Barns restocking multiples get single tools in simple, easy-to-replace styles. Look elsewhere if you want a specialty line such as sets or a show-grooming kit: Cavalier is about the dependable basics.
