About HAAS Horse Brushes
HAAS horse grooming brushes are made in Donaueschingen, a town in the Black Forest area of Germany. They have been manufacturing brushes since 1919. This area has a century old tradition in the brush craftmanship industry and is distinguished by experience that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Originally all the brushes were handmade but with growing demand, for a dedicated range of horse grooming brushes, HAAS now uses machine production processes, although there is still an element of final finishing that is done by hand.
The majority of HAAS brushes are made from polypropylene. This is food safe and free from harmful substances and plasticisers. PP is also easy to recycle and can either be re-melted directly into new products or processes and recycled for re-use, making it one of the most efficient post-consumer plastics.
Natural wood and horsehair are also used as well as natural fibres for the more traditional brushes. These are sought after for their quality and craftmanship as well as providing a superb grooming experience.
The innovative design of all the HAAS brushes ensure longevity, with the bristles and handle incorporated directly into the body of the brush. Without the use of glue, screws, or nails, these brushes are a safe option for both horse and rider, built to last for many years of use.
HAAS products are renowned for their sustainability and quality, this has been their corporate identity for over 100 years.
Where are HAAS brushes made?

What are HAAS brushes made from?
The raw material from which almost all the HAAS brush bodies are made with is the plastic polypropylene, or PP for short. The straps are made from a faux leather material.
Are HAAS brushes worth it?
HAAS brushes have been made to last and are manufactured using high grade synthetic and natural materials. The composition of the bristles and the craftmanship, using modern production technology ensure the exemplary standard of quality and longevity that is expected with a premium grooming brand. They are designed for everyday use and are both tough and waterproof.
Why are HAAS brushes so popular?
HAAS brushes are so popular because there are so many types of brushes to choose from within their horse grooming collections. There is a brush for every type and colour of horse, along with a choice of sizes to suit children, ladies, and gentlemen. Comfortable to hold and with many varieties of hair or bristle, this ensures there are a selection of brushes for every groomer’s requirement.
How sustainable are the HAAS brushes?
All the HAAS brushes are made in the Black Forest area of Germany, with most materials being sourced directly from this region, to keep emissions low and to support local companies. The remaining materials come from other areas of Germany.
HAAS are perceived as a value-based company and stand for responsible and sustainable management, paying attention to the highest quality and production standards as well as constantly improving their ecological footprint to become as small as possible.
Can you wash HAAS brushes?
Yes, all the brushes that have a plastic back can be washed in the washing machine at 30 degrees. HAAS suggest they are put in a wash bag when machine washed. Brushes that have wooden backs and natural bristles need more care and can be hand washed and dried naturally with the bristles facing down.
