the importance of grooming

Grooming requires a comb and a brush. Use the comb for the mane and tail, and the brush for the coat. Gently pat the horse before started to groom him, to calm him down. Start with the croup, (or the back part of the horse). Rub it gently with the brush and move on to the back, when the horse seems to be calm with it, you can start moving it up to the neck. Do the neck for a second and go back to the croup to make sure that your horse is okay with it. Gently work your way down to the legs and then go back up to the neck. You need to wait a minute before doing the face and head, so just keep on doing the neck, croup, and back. After a few minutes, you can start gently grooming the head and face.
