I own a Fell with a long mane which is a NIGHTMARE to brush. Especially because her favourite hobby is collecting as many twigs as possible in it then really rubbing it well into some mud. Eventually I was sick of trying to do it with a body brush and flimsy mane comb and I saw one of those Oster brushes that look like a human hair brush. I thought WOW, that would work so much better, but out of my price range.
So I went to Poundland and for 2 quid I got 2 hairbrushes and 2 big thick plastic combs with handles... I even managed to get pink for my pony and green for my sister's (those are their colours for everything). It is so so so much easier to brush a long, thick or generally difficult mane with a human hairbrush! Now I use that gently to get the tangles out and use the comb to finish off. A for less than the price of your average vody brush/ curry comb etc. Sure, they're probably not the best quality and won't last forever but a few weeks later they still look new, not even a lost bristle, and at that price who can complain when thy eventually do have to be replaced?! I expect most cheap/bargain shops have them. :D
