Spring is the time of year when the days begin to get longer and warmer. But It is also the time when horse owners spend countless hours grooming their horses to remove mud and help shed the winter coat.
Why Grooming is Important?
Grooming is much more than just making a horse look pretty. Grooming actually promotes a horse’s health. By regularly grooming your horse, you increase the blood circulation in the skin, you release the necessary oils to promote a healthy coat, and you have the opportunity to check for any lumps and bumps.
Bonding Time
Horses naturally groom each other to build a relationship. The same is true between a horse and a human. By offering a pleasurable experience to your horse, you will increase your bond. You will become in tune with which areas your horse enjoys being touched and which areas are more sensitive.
Benefits to you
Grooming is not only beneficial to your horse, but also to you. It gives you time to relax, clear your mind, and recharge.
