How to Bathe a Horse (Step-By-Step Guide)

[@pyro-millie5533]

I don’t even have a horse. But watching videos of people caring for their horses is super relaxing for me. They’re such sweet critters and seeing such a kind and knowledgeable person care for them makes me so happy :)

[@antoniodolha9958]

Same here

[@ashleysterner7016]

how amazing! At the beginning of the video she talks about having almost 5K subscribers... now she is up to 136K! You go girl!

[@pyro-millie5533]

Omg him playing with the water was so precious!! And I bet the scrubbie on his body feels like he’s getting a nice scratch on the back. You’re so sweet and gentle with him, and it seems like he knows it!

[@nancisalter7180]

I learned the precautions with bathing your horse the hard way 😊 I got my first horse this past August, had him shipped up to MA from FL and on his second day I "attempted" to give him a bath...he pulled me all around the back yard like I was water skiing on land 😬 I should also mention I am new to the equestrian world, he is my first horse, and he is a big paint (16 hands). I have learned so much from your videos and really appreciate your guidance and knowledge. I am working with a local trainer also.

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thanks Nancy! I’ve had a similar experience 😂

[@maggiekelley259]

Thank you this was very helpful. I'm getting back into farm hand work as a volunteer after getting a massive head injury. About to do my first bath today on my favorite horse for my birthday 💜💜💜

[@maggiekelley259]

Horse bathed. He wasn't happy but because of how well I did, I'm going to be giving washes to this horse regularly 💜

Thank you! This is a great video idea! For now, I think I mention it in this article: equinehelper.com/new-horse-owner-shopping-list/

Loved your video step by step on how to properly bathe a horse…. I’ve had horses in my younger days but was many moons ago. wanted to review the steps because today i’m driving up to my girlfriend’s home in the country an hour & a half out of Nashville & I’m helping her bathe her 4 horses! I can’t wait to get there…. 💗🐴🐴🐴🐴

That's horse is beautiful. He's so gentle and so calm. I want it 🥺

[@Grimthings]

Great video. Just bathed a horse for the first time because of a skin issue. I've always just brushed my working horses down and they've always been gtg. Little colder here, so I threw a fleece blanket over him after. This video helped me a lot with the whole process. Thanks.

[@aprilstew1721]

Thanks for the tips. I especially respect your mention of standing beside the horse’s rump. Safety is important. Thanks ♥️

I'm getting horse lessons with my friend after lockdown! I don't think I will be *keeping* the horse, but it will still be fun

[@minnieandsophie7908]

Yes! Horse lessons are always fun and remember to always listen to your instructor. Unless you’re scared to do something you can work up to that way you won’t be scared and just always listen. Had some kids at our barn and they didn’t listen and our miniature almost had access to the gain because they were messing up our feed. And our miniature could’ve died since HES on a strict diet so always listen!!!

In addition to heat retention, you may want to warn people that the first thing a wet horse will do when released is ROLL! They'll also pick the dirtiest part of the pasture to do so. 😁

[@minnieandsophie7908]

⚠️To anyone getting a horse or who wants a horse and are beginners!!⚠️ Green riders and green horses make black and blue. You can’t have unrealistic expectations for a horse. If you genuinely want a horse and think you have experience work with a friend or family member who owns horses!! Or even go to stables and ask to help with stable chores, You’ll see if you’re actually ready to own your own horse or if you just think their pretty animals. I’ve been around horses since the first time I could walk and I still didn’t get my own horse or even Minnie until I was 14. Thats because I wasn’t ready! It’s ok to admit you’re not ready for a horse. I knew how to ride etc but I didn’t even get my own horse until I knew I was ready to do so much barn chores in every kind of weather. I got my first horse and knew it wasn’t gonna go well since I always say. Green rider green horse black and blue. I do have experience with horses and barn animals yet I still refer to call myself a green rider. Yo I don’t need a shire, yo I don’t need a Arabian. Just a little broke experienced horse will do just fine! Don’t get a horse unless you’re absolutely ready. And don’t have unrealistic expectations of which horse you want you aren’t getting a black stallion either. Thank you.

[@jacquelyngetz2917]

Very helpful, thanks! However, my problem is that there's no wash rack in my barn. I have water available outside in the muddy paddock or grassy pasture areas, neither of which have worked well for me for obvious reasons. My horse's stall has no drain but I'm thinking of trying to bathe him there because it's 12x15 with cross ties, and mats on the floor, with a window and a doorway to the outside. After bathing him, I'm going to try to squeegee the water (on the floor) out through that doorway, and turn on fans to dry the mats before putting bedding down again. (The mats are covering bare ground, so there may be a little drainage.) It's a lot of water, so I hope it works! I'm just afraid that after all that hard work, he's just going to go out and roll in the sand! 😟

[@CarmellaAbel]

Thanks for your support, Jacquelyn! I used to board at a barn with no wash stall. Instead, we made a bathing area outside by putting up a post to tie the horse to and putting down blue stone on the ground. It worked great! Best of luck!

[@jacquelyngetz2917]

I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!
