What type of brush should be used on a grass-kept pony?

The correct approach for grooming a grass-kept pony involves using a combination of a hoof pick, dandy brush, body brush, and sponge.

Each of these tools serves a specific purpose that caters to the needs of a pony kept in a grass environment. The hoof pick is essential for cleaning out the hooves and removing any debris such as mud, stones, or grass that may have become stuck, which helps to prevent infections and ensures the pony's feet remain healthy.

The dandy brush is useful for removing dirt and loose hair from the pony’s coat, especially in areas where the pony has been rolling or where dirt becomes embedded in the coat. This helps maintain a clean and healthy skin underneath.

The body brush is used for a softer, gentler touch on the coat, helping to smooth it down and bring out a shine while also being effective in removing dust and minor dirt particles.

Finally, the sponge is commonly used for wiping down the pony’s face and other sensitive areas, providing a way to maintain cleanliness without causing discomfort to the pony.

Using this comprehensive set of tools ensures the pony is well-groomed, healthy, and comfortable, addressing the unique grooming needs associated with a grass-kept environment. Other options
