Grooming my Friesian Horses
Anyone who owns a horse should know that daily grooming is a very important part of horse care. Regular and proper grooming reveals a lot about the animal and helps to be certain that the horse’s skin and coat is healthy. Owning five beautiful Friesian horses, this daily grooming takes a good deal of time. Betsy Perreten, my stable manager, speeds the process up by using an equine vacuum, rather than a dandy brush, to remove dirt, hair, and other detritus from the horses’ coats. This vacuum is made by the Electric Cleaner Company and it does a fine job. Recently, one of the motors on this well-used apparatus broke down and I had Betsy order a new vacuum and I thought it would be interesting to post a blog about what is involved with grooming a horse.
