Gently whisk away dust from the broader areas on your horses face ears and throat. With sweeping strokes whisk away any dust missed by the body brush. The finer bristles help smooth out the body hair and leave your horse looking more finished and glossy.
When you think you are done apply a grooming spray. Depending on the type these can provide sun protection and add shine to your horses coat but they arent necessary.
Clean the Ears Eyes Muzzle and Dock Area
So far you have cleaned up your horses body mane and tailnow its time for detailing. With a damp sponge or soft cloth wipe around the horses eyes and muzzle and clean away any dirt or chaff. You may prefer a soft cloth as it can be more easily laundered between uses.
At this point check your horses eyes. A bit of tearing at the corner of the eye is not uncommon but take note of excess tearing redness or swelling. Eye infections need to be treated promptly.
Check ears for lodged seed heads or dirt. Some horses are fussy about having their ears handled so go slowly and be careful not to pinch or pull hairs. Eventually your horse may come to love having its ears groomed. When you are done with the face use the cloth to wipe around the dock and tail head.
