Answer: BOTH

Before you ride, you want to get off the caked on dirt off to prevent sickness such as saddle sores.

After you ride, you want to go over your horse one last time, either with brushes, a hose or sponging your horse. During this period, you can see if your horse has any sores and such.

Have you ever noticed that most of the things we do for horses is to prevent sickness? ?:/

It is best to brush the horse both before and after a ride. The reason for this is that before you tack up the horse may have dirt or dust on it that you cannot see, but will irritate the horse and possibly cause sores once the saddle is in place. Afterwards the horse has likely been sweating after having the saddle on and will need the sweat removed to keep it comfortable and healthy.
