Eqclusive Haas Brush Set-Never Mind I Found It On YouTube

[Inclined]

@triplethreat They ARE good brushes (my DD and I have quite a few of them), but so are Leistner and Decker. The thing I’ve found is that Haas, Leistner, and Decker require less elbow grease and time spent. My favorites to use (when I’m in a pamper-the-pony mood) are the Leistners (https://teddystacktrunk.com), but if I’m in a hurry, these have become my favorites:

https://www.jefferspet.com/products/90-classic-brush. This brush is like the Haas Schimmel on steroids. Amazing mud brush (spoken by the owner of a mostly white pinto pony).

https://www.jefferspet.com/products/…gaAsGvEALw_wcB . This one is soft, but with a few extra fibers added that clean deep down.

Both of these brushes are bigger than the standard Haas or Leistner brushes, so they cover more area and therefore make grooming quicker.

Oh, and this is the best curry I’ve found:

https://www.jefferspet.com/products/…waAoYvEALw_wcB. This cuts through caked-on spring mud like nothing else I’ve tried.

They are produced in Germany and marketed well - it would appear. Why only buy one when you can get a “set” ? AND there is a special way to use them. Ka-ching !

You probably have one of each kind in your grooming box already. (I know I do). Difference is, yours cost less, they don’t match and say Haas on the back, and they aren’t “SPESHUL”.

I got my set of Haas brushes from here https://horsehaus.com/collections/horse-brush-sets. You can order sets or individual brushes. They were easy to deal with and it didn’t take long to get my order.

Ok… I guess I am an expert on that topic… I grew up with Haas brushes and brought mine over from Germany. I love them and they are great but I also use this curry mitt (I have the Hands On All In One Glove) and then I just brush them over with a soft brush and it works just as well… I think if you have the right brushing technique both systems work… But I still love my Haas brushes…

Yeah, there is nothing magical about them. They are just really good brushes.

Having groomed professionally and been using Haas and Borstiq brushes for over a decade…there is absolutely a difference in the end product if you use better tools. Less time spent and the horse looks better. I guess it definitely ends on your definition of “magical” but I think they’re worth the price premium.

I care about many things, including grooming, but I guess I never looked at the brand of my brushes. I picked up my last brush set 3 years ago on a whim when buying a new horse. I go totally based of feel of the brush and quality. This is usually why I buy at the shop instead of online. They do a good job, and I’m particular with grooming. I looked at the brand yesterday and sure enough they’re Haas. I bought them here/Germany so I suppose odds were good that they shop would carry that brand.

​​​​I guess they stand out for quality and feel to me. I never gave attention to the brand.

Okay well I’m still using brushes as I had as a kid probably 25 years ago so it’s time for an upgrade!

Question now is what set? I have a grey and a bay. I looked at Smartpak and they have all but one of the grey set brushes. Which brushes would you all say are must haves, keeping in mind that my grey is a lot harder to clean than my bay!

I have been told that there is an all color set available, but the only people I know who have a set have a specific color set.

Try these:

Der Gute curry for initial currying and brush cleaning
Schimmel for mud and stains
Amazon medium body brush to dig out remaining dirt under the skin
Diamond Gloss or Diva for shine

My personal favorites from the Haas line are the Grundy’s Finest (which was the one brush that my ultra-sensitive TB mare tolerated), and the Amazone.

I also use the Winner’s Circle Dandy, which is great to get the worst caked mud off.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Leistner brushes. I broke down (after several years) and finally bought a set. They are not cheap, but I expect to have them forever. Absolutely fabulous!

My grey mares is very skin sensitive. I use the Schimmel brush for really tough stains, but her favorite (and my normal go-to brush) is the Lippizzaner brush. It’s the only one she tolerates on her belly and girth area and it does a great job with everyday dirt/dust.

Riding Warehouse has expanded their selection of Haas products:

Enjoy!

So I caved to peer pressure and went to Riding Warehouse and bought a blue plastic curry, the Schimmel, Cavaliere (as a substitute for the more expensive Lipizzaner), and the Fellglanzburste. Now, I already had a lot of nice brushes, and they all clean really well. The difference here was how much my mostly white Welsh/QH pony liked them. She stopped grazing, stood with her head down and sighed/groaned loudly. No, they’re not magic, but Pony definitely approves.

FYI, Riding Warehouse has a much larger selection of Haas brushes than they used to have, and shipping is free over $50.

I’ve been waffling about these for some time. They look great but I have child sized hands.

How big/bulky are they?

I just ordered a few. Excited to see if they really help get stains out of my pinto better than the cheap ones.

They are easy for me to hold. They all have a sturdy leather strap.

The brushes that I purchased (and most of the brushes not marketed specifically to men) are approximately 7.75" long and 3.25" wide. The hand strap, when flat, is raised above the brush back about 5/8". I have medium sized hands (7.5 in gloves), and the strap is snug for me.

Another option might be the smaller range of Haas brushes like the ones VTO saddlery carries: https://www.vtosaddlery.com/product-…ml?Search=haas

The handy stiff brush is sized for smaller hands and would be similar to the Schimmel mud brush, except synthetic. The small horsehair brush looks like the Welsh brush which is a good all round body brush. The small face brush is similar to the Fellglanzburste and is soft. The small Grundy’s is like its larger counterpart and is a good shine brush (similar to the Diamond Gloss that Smartpak carries). Riding Warehouse also carries the Kinderwurzel brush, which is a really good mud brush, and the small face brush. (I think the smaller brushes with the straps are about 5.75" x 3".)

(Yes, I realize I have spent way too much time researching brushes lately.)

Once in a while, there will be a bit of grass stain that stubbornly refuses to melt completely away, but everything else has come out. They’re also great for shedding - Pony is shedding her summer coat at the moment, so we’re practicing for next spring. :o
