I find it very difficult to get mud off when it's wet so it would be much easier to wait for the mud to dry then attack it with a curry comb, then once the the mud is all loose use a really hard brush to get the dried mud off and and do it again if you need to,it takes alot of elbow grease. :)

This is what I was going to suggest. If your horse can handle it, a shop vac can become your best friend.
