#### **Usage**
Right clicking a horse with a brush to use it. You can brush your horse up to 7 times per Minecraft day, with varying particles to indicate the horse's enjoyment. Daily brushing is a small way to increase a horse's affinity.
After brushing a horse 7 times in a single day, they will display Red (Bad / Angry) particles, indicating affinity is no longer increasing. Currently there is no negative effect to affinity to keep brushing your horse beyond this point.
