How to shine and polish your horse. |

|
Groom and polish for a show or race- I demonstrate how to start with the rubber curry comb, then switch to the firm, medium, and soft bristle brushes. Then the all important rub-rag to bring out your horses natural oils. Then you put a little trail-eze in their nostrils to open up their airways, paint their hoofs with hoof dressing so dirt won't pack in their hoofs, and rinse their mouth out with a mouth syringe full of water so they don't choke on anything. You are now ready to go! |
How to pull a mane. |

|
The art of pulling a maneis a must have skill. It is also a great way to make a few extra bucks at the race track or the farm. Jockeys do not like long manes in their face when they are riding a horse in a race. There is no comparison between a pulled mane and a mane someone has butchered with scissors. |
How to tie a tail in a mud knot. |

|
Tying the tail in a mud knot is a time saver when your horse is cooled out and you now have to groom him or her. Combing out a muddy tail is such a drag, and so time consuming. A good knot that will not come loose will save you all that grief. |
Cleaning the sheath on a gelding or a stallion. |

|
Cleaning the sheath on a gelding or stallion is so important - The inside of sheaths on geldings and stallions get very grimy if never cleaned. With a stallion who is breeding, you do not want to use any kind of soap. You do not want kill the good bacteria they need to fight infection during breeding. A stallion needs to be cleaned every time you service a mare. You use warm water, pull cotton, and K-Y Gel to moisturize the sheath. Geldings and stallions who are not in service, you do use a mild soap like Ivory dish soap, warm water, and pull cotton. Ivory soap will not irritate the area inside the sheath. Then apply fura-zone all around inside the sheath to moisturize. Also check for beans. Beans are balls of grime that form in the cavity around the urethra (the pee hole). They can get to the size of a small pea. These beans will interfere with urinating and can cause kidney and bladder problems. |
Tongue Tie |


|
A common problem you see during a race when a horse has stopped or quit suddenly because he or she has gotten their tongue over the bit and swallowed it. They can't breath, obviously they pull up. So we tie the tongue. |
Lip Chain |


|
A Painless Twitch - When applied and used properly, a lip chain or thin rope is very effective in controlling an excited horse. When pressure is applied to the nerves under their upper lip the horse will calm down. |
