Grooming Tips

Want your horse to look his/her best? Here are a few cool grooming tips.
A shiny coat.
1. First Gather a rubber curry comb, a dandy brush, and some silicone coat spray, you can get your horses dirty coat to shine! 
First, is a good hard curry in a circular motion to get all that dirt out. Use some elbow grease! It's more effective and the horses usually enjoy it. If your horse has sensitive skin, do it more gently, but don't skip it. 
Next follow with the dandy brush use short, quick strokes to lift dirt from the hair. You can use a second brush in your other hand to smooth the hair down. You can go over once more with a soft brush to get off the brush. Finally, spray coat polish on your dandy brush and brush over the horse, avoiding the place where the saddle will sit so it doesn't get to slippery there. 

You can use baby powder if your horse has white socks for an extra boost. It looks great, and people will notice the horse more. Also, highlight the dark places on a horses face by, rub baby oil or petroleum jelly on the dark places on your horses face to make the face more contrasted and sharp also making them more noticeable.
