Use the Body Brush to Whisk Away Dirt
Whisk away the dirt left during currying with a stiff bristled dandy or body brush.

With the body brush, whisk out the dirt brought to the surface by the curry comb. Start on one side and move around the horse brushing in sweeping strokes following the direction of the hair the way it grows. The body brush is more useful for cleaning the legs than the curry comb. This is a good time to check for lesions and skin irritations on the legs, knees, and pasterns.
