than a half mile at a time without allowing a breathing spell.
14. Walk the horse when approaching and passing through underpasses or over bridges.
15. Bring the horse in cool; ride at a walk the last mile to the stable.
16. Never allow the mount to gorge on water or feed when he is hot. 17. Groom thoroughly after each ride. 18. Avoid walking behind any horse. 19. Wash the bit off thoroughly before hanging it in the tackroom. Remove any hair or sweat marks from the saddle and girth before putting them on the rack. Wash all leather equipment at frequent intervals with saddle soap.
20. Feed the horse a balanced ration and maintain him in a healthy and spirited condition at all times.
Grooming
Proper grooming is necessary to make the horse attractive and to keep the best health and condition. Grooming cleans the hair, keeps the skin functioning more naturally, lessens skin diseases and parasites, and improves the condition and fitness of muscles.
Grooming should be rapid and thorough, but not so rough or severe as to cause irritation— either of the skin or the temper. Take special care to keep all parts of the body clean and free from any foulness.
Horses that are stabled should be groomed thoroughly at least once each day. Those that are worked or exercised should be groomed both before leaving the stable and immediately upon their return.
The recommended grooming procedure for heated, wet or sweating animals is as follows:
1. Wipe off and put away equipment used as fast as possible.
2. Remove excess perspiration with a sweat scraper and rub briskly with a grooming or drying cloth to dry partially the coat.
Blanket and walk the horse until cool. Give him a couple of swallows of water every few minutes while cooling out.
Idle horses that are on pasture do not need daily grooming, but an occasional brushing of their coats is desirable.
Grooming Equipment
There is hardly any limit to the kinds and styles of grooming.
