I recently bought some of these and they're great for removing loose hair and dried mud - They also bring up a shine on the coat :)

...........and icky bot eggs if you're unlucky enough to get 'em!

We literally shave the little pony with them! Only thing is that they leave a bit of residue on a white pony....and if they get wet they reek of sulphur!

Well since Alibear was singing the praises of these I decided to go out and buy one today - they are fab. I almost couldn't be seen through the clouds of white hair flying off Alba!

+1 I always use them in spring the best way to get rid of the winter coat I find is to go at it with a rubber curry to loosen hair and scruff, then use a dandy to clear off what you have loosened and then the block for loosening and removing the deepdown stuff and the rest :nod: then use baby wipes on the surface to collect any remaining dust n dirt
