you should groom your horse everyday especially on the parts where the tack goes. sponge down after long rided and on sunny days when it's hot so your horse can dry off. pick out hooves 2 times a day

Horses can get by without any grooming at all. However, it is good to at least look the horse over every day to check for injuries and such. You should also groom a horse, at least the saddle area, before you ride. To get the horse's coat to look shinier and better, daily grooming-complete grooming with a curry comb, stiff brush, soft brush, etc. will do the trick. Bathing your horse should not be done too often, especially if your horse lives outdoors because bathing a horse removes the natural oils from the horses coat that he needs to protect himself from the elements.

You should brush your horse every day, mainly just to check over him thoroughly and make sure he doesn't have any bumps cuts and bruises that may need tending to. You shouldn't bathe your horse very often. They need the oils in their skin. I actually never wash my horses, as they live outside all the time and need their natural skin oils even more so than stall kept horses.

Before and after exercise or whenever it needs it (when you can see the shedded hair falling out from under the saddle, when you can't see an inch of the horse that isn't covered in mud, kapeesh?)

HORSES NEED EVERYDAY CARE!!! Every day, when after somebody takes the horse out, they need to clean the horse of bad sweat under the padding, and remove any dust that might of gatten on the horse, or else it will develop skin problems in the future.

The hoof pick needs to be used every day and after rides. The soft brush also needs to be used every day. Never ride without removing dirt from a horses fur.

I've never heard of anyone brushing horses teeth. You do need to have their teeth checked annually and floated (filed down) every 2-5 years.
