Bathing Horses

After returning from a trail ride or after your horse had a nice roll in the dirt, he will need to be washed or cooled off, so he is clean before going in the stable.

First wet your horse thoroughly, if your bathing with shampoo, take the bottle of shampoo and draw it over your horse it's easy to start from the head to the tail, wet the horse a bit take a dandy brush or a face brush and brush the shampoo in the horses coat, brush everywhere under the belly in between the legs, the legs. When your done rinse your horse make sure there is no more soap on your horse or it might cause skin disease, scrap your horse following the lie of his coat get all the access water off if there is soap coming out rinse your horse again. If you just cooling him skip the shampoo process.

    After scarping him you might want to wipe him with towel or a dry sponge, then dry him out handwalk or tie him to a post so he dose not grow fungus on his skin, you can put him straight in the stable but you have to groom him next morning. And another thing is you do not want him to roll horses like that the most,

tie your horse up or handwalk him. For the shampoo you can use any shampoo or even dish wash soap don't worry it won't harm your horse.


And thats all for now, there is something you need to know when you bathe a horse you will probably bathe your self, shampoo your horse once every three days. Good Luck.
