The Importance of Regular Grooming

Daily grooming sessions with your horse have many benefits for your horses health and wellbeing. Your horse requires a regular grooming routine even if they are not being ridden. In addition to your regular grooming sessions, your horse requires grooming both before and after each time they work. 

A few of the main benefits for your horse include: 

• Maintaining a healthy coat

Regular routine grooming sessions help maintain a healthy coat by increasing blood flow and improving the circulation of blood throughout their body. A quality grooming session can also help with the exfoliation of dead skin cells on your horses coat.

• Early prevention of injuries or illness

Grooming sessions allow you to take notice of your horse and their condition. During grooming sessions examine your horses skin for signs of rashes, swelling, lumps or injuries. Don't forget to examine all areas of their body including legs, face and eyes.

• Improves your horses overall appearance

The most obvious reason for grooming your horse on a regular basis is to keep them looking clean and tidy. Along with a healthy diet and workout routine it keeps their coats looking shiny and healthy allowing them to always look their best.
