Which Haas Brush Should You Choose?
A grooming kit works best when each brush has a clear job. Start with what the horse needs and what is already in the kit, then choose a body brush, a softer option or a finishing brush to fill the gap.
Choose by the grooming job
| Grooming job | What to look for | Haas choices |
|---|---|---|
| Loosening dry dirt and loose hair | A curry comb used with pressure the horse finds comfortable | Adult Plastic Curry Comb |
| Brushing dirt out of the body coat | A body brush for the main part of the groom | Cavaliere or Parcour |
| A softer grooming step | Soft bristles and a size that is easy to control | Fellglanz or Noir Small |
| Finishing a clean coat | A soft finishing surface for the last pass | Diva Exklusiv |
| Mane and tail grooming | A separate brush for working through small sections of hair | Black Mane and Tail Brush |
How Cavaliere, Parcour and Diva differ
Cavaliere has a longer outer border and a shorter centre. The bristles work together to lift dirt through the coat and brush it away. Parcour is a classic body brush with a grey and black bristle mix. Either can provide the main body-brushing step, with pressure adjusted to the individual horse.
Diva Exklusiv has a soft Mattes lambskin centre and is intended for finishing once the main dirt is removed. The body brush and finishing brush therefore do different parts of the same routine. See the manufacturer’s Cavaliere specification and Diva Exklusiv specification.
What about white and grey horses?
Haas also makes the Schimmel brush with firm plant-fibre bristles for dirt and stable stains on lighter coats. Use pressure the horse accepts and choose a softer brush for delicate or bony areas. You can check the product’s availability on our Haas Schimmel page.
Buying a grooming gift
Ask which brush the owner reaches for every day. If they already have a body brush they like, a finishing brush can be a useful addition. If they are building a kit, a body brush and curry comb cover the first stages. Check that the brush size and hand strap suit the person using it.
For a simple finishing gift, see Diva Exklusiv. For an everyday body-brushing option, see Cavaliere.
Use and care
Brush in the direction of the coat and watch the horse’s response. Keep firmer tools on suitable fleshy areas and use softer brushes for sensitive areas. Clean hair and dust from the brushes regularly, follow the care instructions for their materials and let them dry thoroughly before putting them away.
