Tame That Mane

Horse grooming is essential for your horse's health. Keeping your horse groomed will keep the coat looking shiny and lustrous. Grooming can also bring to your attention potential diseases and ailments that your pet may be suffering from (infection, injuries, skin conditions). Careful grooming removes loose hair and dirt and pulls natural oils to the surface of the animal's coat—this will make it appear shiny and healthy. But, the mane can be tricky business. Before grooming the mane, spray it with a detangler. Once the detangler has set into the hair, work through it with a plastic grooming comb—do not pull out any hair in the process. Then, using a a stiff body brush, work the mane from underneath. Finish off the job by running through the mane off with a soft brush.
