A DAY AT THE STABLES - SHEATH CLEANING
Come and join me for a day at the yard, mucking out the horses and having there sheaths cleaned
Here I share my journey from a complete novice horse rider to now competing at horse of the year (HOYS) shows whilst being a completely self-taught equestrian.
I have failed so many times over the years but always learnt something from it, I hope that my KZbin channel will be able to help teach you all the little bits that nobody seems to share and help progress you on your riding journey quicker than I did on mine.

I compete my 4 Welsh section D cobs regularly in both in hand and ridden showing, from local level shows, affiliated, WPCS, RIHS, to HOYS qualifiers,
Willow - 11yr old Welsh section D - Sooty palomino
Gambler - 9yr old Welsh section D - Black roan
Champ - 7yr old Welsh section D - Buckskin
Donut - 2yr old Welsh section D - Chestnut roan
I am a completely self-taught horse rider who has a big dream to compete at HOYS, why not follow my journey to see if we can make it,
I'm not perfect and I make mistakes but what we learn from it is what truly matters.

Do you get your horses sheath cleaned? or do you do it yourself?

[@knittinlisa2392]

Can I just say, the stall latches being low enough so you use your foot and keep your hands free is genius! ❤

[@KarenBadrick1]

It’s so handy isn’t it 😄

[@user-ul4nm1if2e]

My, you don’t stop. Great post, really informative, well done that lady. Yes the things one has to think about now was never a thing when I started back in the day, 1966, I don’t ride anymore but miss it greatly. Looking forward to you starting show season. Hope parents evening went well. 😉

[@bevhigginbottom4302]

I had my first pony in 1979 we didn't have back checks our saddles were it'll do ,sheath cleaning was unheard of and a lot of what we did would be frowned on now .looking back I think how on earth did we get away with it. Horses today have so much more things available I wish we had year's ago

[@KarenBadrick1]

yes it has changed alot from back in the day, horses are cared for a lot better now

[@muttersmenu2422]

As a former human nurse I have been up the private bits of males and females many times but never a horses 🐎. Very interesting and informative video✔️ Good luck to Lewis with the GSEs👍

[@KarenBadrick1]

The first ridding school I worked at we had to clean the sh

[@kathrynmurphy-ug5qf]

Hi, yes always, was tought vet school. Vital, but ive owned mares, and taught at 8 months weaning, i always found stallions easier, maybe they found me attractive xx JOKE as if ,,,,,, well done, AND a decent lady who truly cares more than the MATCHY matchy palava, GOSH people are colour mad nowadays. And i love your great SUITABLE STABLE WEAR, WOLLY WARM Thank goodness you spend money on what matters xx

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

I learned a lot! Thanks, nice that you showed this to us!

[@KarenBadrick1]

thank you x

[@theresajordan1694]

Great video. Its something we never did years ago. It was unheard of. Totally agree with it now though. Donut is horizontal bless him. What a good boy. Made me smile again as usual xx❤

[@KarenBadrick1]

it was never even thought of back when i first got into horses, i definatly see the benefit of it now, haha yes he doesnt seem to have a care in the world about anything

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

The first ridding school I worked at we had to clean the sheethes OUT. I was about 160yrs old,I am and 60yrs old NOW IT was a girl's boarding school in Coventry. BUT that was the only place i'v ever do .TAKE CARE AND all the best. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍🐶

[@KarenBadrick1]

Id never heard of it being done untill the last couple of years, she was also telling me that she goes out alot to mares now aswell to clean all there bits

[@zaracle]

Another great vid thank u x

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it x

[@janicerosenthal8798]

Wow Karen that’s one big bean. I’ve been doing my gelding for about 20 yrs now just once in the summer myself. But if I find a bean I have a friend at the barn to get it out lol I can never seem to grab hold of the beam. But come nicer weather he will b done . All your boys there are beautiful and you care for them beautifully. Good luck with next show with Willow ♥️🏇🏻🥇

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you I’ve never tried to clean them myself, I wouldnt know what I’m looking for 😂 x

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

Nice a new bale of hay, it pulls so nicely 😆 if you are in the middle its all stuck together.

[@KarenBadrick1]

Yes I love having a nice new bale 😂 the middle of it is so hard to pull apart x

[@sandrawheeler1521]

I always cleaned my geldings sheaths myself. Karen, can you do a blog on how to build topline please.❤❤.

[@KarenBadrick1]

I would always be worried that im pushing dirt further in, Donut would be easy to clean as hes always got it out, but willow always tucks it away 😂 Yes i can definatly do something about topline x

[@sandrawheeler1521]

@@KarenBadrick1 Thanks Karen. My gelding often got his out too.🤣🤣

[@sandrawheeler1521]

Karen when showing. Do you always have to have welshies mane's cut so short. Mare has a beautiful long mane and thick tail. Seems so horrid to cut it.🙈

[@learningeveryday.3580]

Great video bless them all, they were good boys, think someone years ago said to put a bit of lard up there to help, I don't know if that's the right thing to do. 😂

[@KarenBadrick1]

Thank you, yes im pleased with how they all behaved she cleaned them with KY jelly and water so i suppose if i squirted some KY up willow in a couple of months that may help soften anything for it to natuarly come out

[@cindbin64]

Never mentioned yrs ago, always told self cleaning. I do my geldings about every 4/5 months if needed, theyre pink skinned and seem to be the worst, it's one of those things you don't want to overclean lose the natural balance, some are just dirtier. I've never removed a bean that big tho😮. Made my eyes water, Willow definitely needs doing more regularly before a bean gets that big. Get your gloves out Karen, 😂

[@KarenBadrick1]

Yes i was always told they were self cleaning, I will give it a goo if i need to to help willow but i wouldnt have a clue what im doing 😂 so it may just be the wiser option to get her out again in 6 months to see to him 😂 x

[@jennypride8375]

Hi Karen 👋 what type of hay do you have there?

[@KarenBadrick1]

Mine are all fed haylage x

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Think my lad needs his sheath cleaned, he's always had itchy back legs, but it's become obvious it's something in his crotch!!! I wouldn't have a clue how to clean it, I've tried (having watch a few KZbinvids), but I don't think I did much good!!

[@KarenBadrick1]

Yes i did give it a go myself one day with willow, as i didnt want anyone to be kicked by him but i didnt have a clue what i was doing so got someone in to do them and it has been amazing to see the change in his way of going

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@KarenBadrick1 my horse would definitely kick anyone going near his 'bits' 😂
