I'm not exactly sure but I know my friend (very popular around here for horse stuff) told me to do short flicks but run it thoroughly on the horse especially like the dandy brush and stuff.

Well to get dust and dirt out from inside the coat, you want to use short strokes and sort of flick your brush out. Use long strokes with a soft brush for wiping off residual dust, loose hair and for polishing.

You want to use short strokes with kind of a "flick" at the end. That is so the dust gets swept off and not redistributed.
