A DAY'S WORK IN THE STABLE 9

FIG. 2.— THE LEFT HAND UNDERGRASPING THE FETLOCK JOINT. 



i. A dandy (dandruff) brush for removing rank dirt. It 

 is a stiff fibre brush, and soon gets off any dried mud, 

 clinging dust, dung, etc. 



2. A body-brush. A fairly soft hair brush, with a webbing 

 hand-band, the brush being too broad and flat to grasp in 

 the hand. 



3. A curry-comb. A ribbed iron tool for cleansing the 

 body-brush on, so often and wrongfully used on the poor 

 horses instead of the dandy-brush.
