How often do you need to clean a horse?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Horses should be groomed daily to remove dirt, sweat, and debris from their coat. Their hooves should be picked out daily and their stalls cleaned regularly to maintain sanitary conditions. Full baths are generally not needed frequently, unless the horse gets particularly dirty or is being prepared for a show.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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?)

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

You should groom them everyday to ....1) spend quality time with your horse2) Get rid of loose, unwanted hair

Answer 8

For my horses three times a week is plenty.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

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.
