I was told never to leave a raid in a tail it could get badly snagged and torn off

Hosing a horse off (when it’s hot, e.g.) is ok but it is so wrong to shampoo bath a horse twice a week! Their skin dries out and it looses its natural protection.

I would live to know brands of conditioners and detanglers they like. My horse has long course hair and not all products work the best.

Dear Galadriel, good comment. The horses in this article are in “full training” meaning that they are worked on a daily basis and shown monthly at breed- and/or sport events. The horses are 24/7 kept in show condition, that why the care seems a bit intense.

Wow, that is a lot of work for, “doing as little as possible”. I brush my horse’s mane and tail about once a month. Perhaps I should do it more often because in my opinion they’re way too thick. As for washing, why would it be necessary to wash twice a week?
Thanks for the great article.
