Answer 2: In the UK, a "dandy" brush is a hard bristled brush unsuitable for use on the horse's face and sensitive areas.

A hard brush *This is a bit too general...actually depends on what part of the body you are planning on brushing. The body (excluding legs and face) is fine to use a hard (dandy) or medium brush. On the legs and face you should use a soft brush. They also have finishing brushes that can be used to brush the face if your horse needs something softer.
