Soap helps get the dirt and sweat off the horse's body. It does help their skin, but you shouldn't give a horse a bath too frequently. Giving a horse a bath say, once a week, would irritate the horse's skin making it itchy and dry. I give my horse a bath once a month, or once every two months depending on the season.

Horse soap
A sweat scraper is used after bathing a horse to remove excess water and sweat from its coat. It helps to speed up the drying process and prevent the horse from getting cold or developing skin issues from excess moisture.
A horse's sweat isn't white. It foams and it looks white. It's completely normal, depending how much the horse was worked. If the horse wasn't worked, and it is sweating profusely, then there might be an issue.
Face soap is specifically formulated for the delicate skin on the face, with gentle, non-comedogenic ingredients to avoid clogging pores. Bath soap is designed for cleansing the body and can be more harsh or drying, as it is meant to remove dirt and sweat from larger areas of skin. It is important to use face soap for the face to maintain its natural pH balance and skin integrity.
'Sweating' A horse refers mainly to placing a type of neck cover on the horse after applying a 'sweating gel/lotion' and letting the heat made by the trapped liquid to cause the horse to sweat of the 'excess' neck weight causing the neck to look thinner and longer.
