Hey Everyone!
In case you didn't read through the email blast we sent out yesterday, we are asking that all riders have their own grooming kits. We are currently disinfecting brushes but they are starting to freeze, and in an attempt to be extra cautious, we feel it would be safest for all participants to have their own equipment. I have received a few emails asking what needs to be in a grooming kit. Here is a good article explaining the various types of brushes.
All brush kits MUST have:
- a hoof pick (to clean out the horses' hooves)
- a curry comb (to loosen dirt and shedding hair)
- a hard/dandy brush (to sweep away loosened dirt & hair)
It is also nice to have:
- a comb or brush for the horses' mane (tails should NOT be combed without detangler)
- a soft/body brush (to remove remaining dust and polish the coat)
We will have the curry comb/hard brush combo and a hoof pick available for sale for $10.00, please let us know if you would like to order a set.
If you would like to pick out your own brushes, the
