    A curry comb is used to remove mud from a horse's coat. This tool has short, rubber or plastic bristles that are designed to effectively loosen and remove dirt, debris, and mud from the horse's hair. By using a curry comb in a circular motion, the bristles penetrate the coat, bringing the dirt and mud to the surface. This makes it easier to brush away the dirt and leave the horse's coat clean and shiny.
