To make sure there is nothing sharp poking your horse when you ride, or dirt rubbing on him, irritating his skin and dirtying your saddle pad
A groom is a servant who looks after a horse. They are responsible for the horse's care, grooming, feeding, and exercising. Grooms also ensure that the horse's equipment is in good condition.
YES. If you don't groom it immediatly after riding it he/she will most likely drop dead. I highly suggest that you go groom your horse right now if you have not already. And if you are not too late. Hurry. Good luck!
Every day if you can.. 1) Its a good bonding time between you and your horse. 2) Gets rid of any unwanted lose hair
Most of the time, it can usually be done in 15 minutes. But then again, it also depends on how dirty your horse is, or what you've been doing beforehand. If the horse is sweaty, expect another 10 minutes or so to complete the task. When eventing, thorough cleaning is usually the best option before and after tacking up. Before tacking up, grooming should take around 30 to 45 minutes. Afterwards, it would be good to spend an hour or more cleaning up the horse. After events it's best to do a very thorough washing, which can take a while. SO, all in all, it can take anywhere up to 30 minutes when regularly cleaning, and up to2 hours for eventing cleaning.
There are several skin conditions that might develop as a result of neglect. Rain rot is common, as are dandruff and lice.Yes they will! Be sure to groom horses at least once a day. If you see a horse that is not being cared for correctly, please inform animal control immediately. They will find it a new home at a local horse rescue.~Deb~Horses do not need grooming every day if they are turned out in the field all day and night, but if the horse is brought in at night/day and lives out in day/night then you should groom them when you put them in the stable at least once a day.Horses may develop Rain rot or Dandruff if they are not kept clean enough. If you do groom your horse everyday and it lives out in winter, that isn't a good idea unless you rug the horse with a heavyweight or mediumweight rug, otherwise you will groom all the natural oils in his coat out that keep him warm, but you can groom him about every 2-3 weeks to keep him clean.

The main things a horse trainer will need are ; An understanding and basic knowledge of horse handling and care. At least some experience with training a horse. Facilities for keeping the horses at that he/she is training. Good person to person skills. Possibly a truck and trailer. A helper such as a groom/stable hand, and much more.
because they need to 1. get the dirt and dust off of them so the pad doesn't rub them raw on their backs and 2. because they need to be groomed period because they need to be rubbed down once in a wile. :)
I don't give my horse apples much but, I do when he does something good like he lets me groom him without a fuss and was did good when being ridden. So basically I only give my horse apples as a "good boy treat", I do the same with carrots. But some people give their horses apples twice a day. 2 apples in the morning and 2 in the evening. Hope my answer helped you.
There are several reasons to groom your horse aside from the obvious one - to clean it! Horses can enjoy the massage - it is very relaxing for the majority of them. A good grooming after a ride can be a treat for your horse. Grooming also benefits a horse because it helps to distribute the oils in the skin and keeps the coat healthy and helps improve circulation.
You can look in classified adds or go to an auction. Make sure you have the proper supplies and a good place to keep your horse before you buy it.
