curry comb
This term refers specifically to a specialized tool used in equine grooming. It is distinct from a standard brush or a curry brush; while a curry brush often has rubber nodules, a curry comb typically features stiff bristles or metal teeth designed for more aggressive scrubbing to lift deep-seated dirt and dander from a horse's coat.
In a professional equestrian context, the tool is used in a circular motion. Using it incorrectly or too harshly on sensitive areas of the horse can cause skin irritation, making the precise application of the tool a mark of a skilled groom.
