Abstract
A horse and/or livestock brush assembly with sponge element that releases a fluid and/or liquid solution directly onto a sponge element for foaming delivery onto the coat of an animal during sponging or washing. The brush assembly includes a brush base attached to a hose and flow regulator. The brush base comprises a flexible deformable membrane with a plurality of apertures that deliver fluid and/or liquid solution to a sponge element. The flexible deformable membrane and sponge element are fitted within a first opening of an internal cavity in a brush base. Delivery of the fluid or liquid solution is controlled by way of the flow regulator. An optional mixing chamber housing a water soluble compound containing active ingredients may be attached to the flow regulator to form a liquid solution. The liquid solution includes shampoos, conditioners, perfumes, fragrances and other active compositions including insect repellant, botanicals, dyes, moisturizers, or antibacterial compounds. The fluid and/liquid is delivered directly to the animal's fur or hair while sponging or washing the coat.
