Here is a photograph of pony driver holding a pony while he is being cleaned by a horsekeeper. The device looks like a vacuum cleaner with a brush at the end.

Pit ponies could get very dirty working underground and they would need to be cleaned. They would be brushed down after each shift and even had baths underground.
