we if you want to groom it youll have to get a curry comb. (the thing that has little suckers on it) well, with a curry comb youll have to make circular motions with it. but dont go too fast it will make the horse uncomfortable. then after that you will have to get just a normal horse brush. (the one with the bristels)youll have to flick the dirt off in the direction of the horses fur. then, youll have to get a hoof pick and clean out its hooves. (this is kinda tricky) youll have to start at the frog. (the triangular part of the hoof.)then, keep going down until you get the dirt out. mucking out stalls-youll have to get a pitchfork or a shovel. (i would choose the pitchfork) youll have to scoop up the poo and see if there are any extra shavings in the pitchfork. if there are youll have to shake the pitchfork up and down. make sure there are no more shavings in the pitchfork. (unless there pee shavings)then deposit in a bucket. thats all i have good luck with your horse!!!! email me back if you have anymore questions. my email is ryleepearson@yahoo.com
