Brushes

Grooming your horse is the preliminary level of riding and caring for horses, you have to do it, whether if your making your horse look nice or neat, to get the dirt and mud off before tacking up and to check for injuries, it needs to be done. So here are the brushes you use from the first one you have to use to the last.

Step 1-  You will need a rubber curry comb and a hard brush. Start by moving the curry comb on the horses coat in circular motions to loosen mud and dirt, then brush it away using the hard brush.

Step 2- Brush the dirt off the horses legs with the hard brush.

Step 3- Using the soft body brush, brush over the whole body with it, removing any remaining dirt.

Step 4- With the mane comb (or the mane and tail brush) and a hard brush, untangle and brush the horses mane and tail.

Step 5- Pick out your horses feet using a hoof pick.

Step 6- (optional) you can brush your horses face using a goat hair (or soft bristled) face brush. If you have washed your horse, after soaping and rinsing your horse, use a sweat scraper.
