Hermes scrubbing brush: What does one do with this?
One look at the price ($115), and I'm not likely to use it on my horse. It doesn't exactly go on the mantle, either. As lovely as I'm sure it is, who goes to Hermes and buys something practical? I'm notorious for misplacing things around the barn, but that is one brush I'd never lose.

Your guess is as good as mine..hmm? It looks like harsh broom bristles. Maybe for cleaning around the barn? But even then $115???? Whoa..
ReplyDeleteI'd rather spend that much on a nice blanket for my pony. xD
ReplyDeleteI used to have that brush (but without the pricetag - mine was a fancy gift but that's just nuts) and used it like a broom! Deep seated dust came right out, and the horses adored it.
ReplyDeleteI used to have one when i showed English and Jumping. We used it on our saddle pads, and and our show blankets. When i had it it was $55, i dont know why their has been such an increase!
ReplyDeleteI would be afraid to use it!
ReplyDeleteWhat the....oh my. I would likely use it to brush my horse with but only if I did not pay for it. Think about all the other useful things for 115$ you could buy. Like 20 of these brushes of a very similar make.
ReplyDelete$115 ? that's just crazy..yes, I'd use it if I got it as a gift, likely at shows only...
ReplyDeleteI'd return it and buy several things I could use!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just sitting here thinking it would be nice to actually have the money to burn on something like that.
ReplyDeleteBeing horse poor (but happy), I'd probably be tacky and return it for the moo-lah. Yep, I surely would :o)
Yes, I would use it because I don't believe in keeping things if I don't use them. That being said, I'd never buy the thing. Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteI would only use it if it was a gift!And probably only at clinics and shows...
ReplyDeleteI would never spend that much myself on a BRUSH! Much rather get my horse something practical like you said.
Who would buy a brush at that price these days? I guess the rich...
If I got it as a gift, it would sit in the fancy trunk along with all the other brand new shiney things I bought as backups so I don't have to feel so bad about their working counterparts loosing their luster. My horse has his stuff, and I have a second set just to admire.
ReplyDeleteI'd use it and probably lose it in the barn somewhere....IF it was a gift and IF I really had no idea how much it cost--which is only proper with a real gift.
ReplyDeleteSure, I'd use it on the horses if I received it as a gift. They love those nice stiff bristles and it works great. However I paid only $15 for mine! Dogs also enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously?
ReplyDeleteLike my mama says, some people have more money than brains. If you have $115 to spend on a brush, maybe you should consider a charitable donation or something....
Sometimes I despair for humanity...
