There are numerous products for bathing your horse. They are available at any feed store or equine supply catalog. These are the best for the horse's coat and skin which can be sensitive with harsh detergents. If you can't find a special horse shampoo you can use a baby shampoo that you can find in any grocery or drug store. Be sure to have your hose hooked up to a fawcett that has hot water and try not to bathe your horse on a cold day. If you have a horse blanket or light-weight horse sheet your horse will thank you for the added warmth until he dries off. If your horse is not used to bathing go slow to get him used to the hose, starting from his feet up the legs and then the body. Most horses don't like a hose in the face even if the water is warm, so a soft sponge or washcloth on the face is much better. Try to keep water out of his eyes, ears and nostrils.

How often to wild horses bathe?

I bathe my horse only about every two months, sometimes changing this depending on the season and how filthy he gets. If you over do the bathing it causes the horse's skin to harden... At the very most I'd only do once a month, not even that in fall and winter.


How do you bathe a horse?

To bathe a horse you must first soak him with water (make sure that you ONLY bathe him when it is warm outside!) Then you will poor a lot of equine approved horse soap on him, (you can find this at feed store for farm animals) If you can not get that soap baby soap will do, but horse soap is best, you can use a rubber curry comb , a handmitt, or a sponge , or just your hand! I prefer rubber curry comb because it tends to clean deeper, do not get soap in his eyes, do not spray water in his ears! .Once he is all soapy, rinse thoroughly , then use a water scraper to get off most of the access water , if you don't have one you can use some towels. He does not need to be perfectly dry , the extra water just needs to be off.Your horse probably only needs to be bathed every other month (remember only when it is WARM outside!!!), the rest of the time just groom him!Enjoy your horse, & I hope this helped!
