Grooming

You need to groom your horse every day. You may think the reason to groom your horse is so that he/she looks nice, but the main reason to groom your horse is so that it will stay healthy and clean. If you keep your horse in a stable where he can not roll on the ground to groom himself, you should groom him daily. If he is out in the pasture he will not need as much grooming.

Here is a list of things that you need to groom your horse and how they are used.

The Dandy Brush This brush is used for brushing off mud that your horse might get on its coat. It has stiff bristles.

Body Brush This brush is softer than the dandy brush and is easier to hold. It is used to take off oil and dirt.

Metal Curry The metal curry is used for cleaning the body of your horse only. (Never ever use this on your pony.)

Sponges There are three different uses for the sponge. You should keep a separate sponge for each.

Stable cloth The stable cloth is used for drying off your horse's coat and making it look shiny and pretty.

Hoof pick A hoof pick is used to clean dirt, pebbles and mud from the horse's hoof.

Hoof oil This is used to put a sealing, protecting and shiny seal to the hoof.

Sweat scraper This is just like a squeegee, except it is used on a horse not a window.
