How To Groom A Horse
Grooming a horse needs various grooming tools. Know what to keep in your horse grooming kit and learn about cleaning a horse using the correct grooming equipment as well as other handy horse grooming tips.
To have a clean horse, there are some essentials you will need in your grooming kit. Theses are the basic items and some grooming tips for horses and ponies
The horse grooming brushes you may need when you are grooming horses are the dandy brush, body brush and water brush. Keep reading for tips on how to groom horses with each horse brush.
There are two types of combs you can use when you are grooming ponies and horses, the curry comb and the mane and tail comb.
You will also need two sponges and some other accessories in horse grooming kits. Keep reading for the essential horse grooming equipment and to find out how to groom a horse.
A hoof pick – this is essential part of grooming your horse to make sure there are not rock, stones or other objects caught in your horse or pony's hooves
A dandy brush – a heavy duty brush to get all that mud off your horse or pony's muddy coat. This horse brush is great in the winter, but be careful if you brush a horse with this one and they are a bit ticklish!
A body brush – a softer brush to take off all the dust and scurf from your horse or pony's coat. You can also use the body brush to gently brush their mane and tail. The best way how to brush a horse, is in the direction of the way the hair is laying.
A rubber curry comb – you can use this on your horse or pony to help get that long haired coat off them in Spring time. When you are cleaning a pony or horse, use it in a circular motion
A metal curry comb – be careful not to use this one directly on you pony or horse. It is for cleaning the body brush only! Just rub the two across each other and watch out that you don't end up with all the removed dirt all over you!
A mane and tail comb – be careful when using the mane and tail comb that you don't pull out or break too many of your horse or pony's hairs. They take a long time to grow you know. Use your fingers first to gently separate bits of the mane and tail and then use the comb sparingly. Use the body brush the most on manes and tails.
A water brush – another heavy duty brush that you can use this to damp down your horse or pony's mane and tail when you have finished brushing them with the body brush. So that the mane lies flat and the top of the tail stays in place. Don't use your water brush as your dandy brush or it will all get mighty muddy!
Two sponges – use one to gently wash the eyes of your horse or pony and their muzzle. Use the other sponge for the other end – the dock (under their tail). It can be useful to have two sponges of different colours or different shapes so that you know which one goes where!
Bot knife – can be useful to remove bot eggs from your horse or pony's legs. It is not easy to get them off any other way.
Hoof oil and brush – you can put on some hoof oil. Some people like it, some people don't.
A plastic bucket, or a container with a lid is also a good idea to include in grooming kits for horses. In fact it is a better idea if you keep your horses grooming kit clean and organised and keep it inside the bucket or container.
