Horse Grooming/Washing..

Sorry i forgot to post again but i really haven't done anything worth posting about so i didn't, also i haven't heard anything from the two horse owners that i contacted..but anyway enjoy this post i made about grooming :)

So here is a post about horse grooming and washing or how i do it and in witch order :)

Grooming:


1. First Use A Curry Comb.

Use the curry comb on the whole horse with a circle like moves.


2.Second Use A Hard brush

brush all the excess hairs, you can use the curry comb to clean the brush after every third brushing (or even everytime if there is alot of excess hair)


3. Then Use A Soft Brush

Use the brush to brush all the dust that came when you used the curry comb and the hard brush.

You can do all this again if the horse still feels or looks dirty.

4. Use A Mane Comb

You use ether the hair brush looking or the comb witch one you like better. Use it to comb both the mane and the tail so there aren't any knots left.

5. Use A Hoof Pick
















Use the hoof pick to pick all the hoofs. The best hoof pick would be the one with the brush so you can really get everything out and also clean the outside of the hoof.

6.Use A Face Brush












Use the face brush to brush the horses head.


7. Final Checks

Now you are done or at least should be so you can you your final checks and do some final brushings to get the horse as clean as possible. Or if the horse is clean you can do some braids in the main or tail.


Washing:


1. Get the horse wet

2. Get shampoo all over the coat and rub it in.

3. Wash of the shampoo. Make sure you get everything out.

4. Use a sweat scraper to get the excess water.

5. Use a towel to get the horse dryer.

6. If its cold put a blanket for the horse. If its not you can just let the horse be in the sun or in the stables to completely dry off.
