Bathing the horse is not for the purpose of circumventing the grooming process. It is imperative that horses are brushed every day. Brushing keeps the coat healthy and clean while removing loose hair from a shedding horse. When the horse is on the wash rack the lead line will be attached to the rings on the wash rack and not left on the ground. All tack applied to the horse will be clean and ready for duty.
Horses are to be tacked up in either the standing stalls or their own stall.
Do not tack up horses in the aisle way of the barn. Once the horse is tacked up and ready to go don't leave him standing in the standing stalls for long periods of time. Either return the horse to its stall and tie him or load him in the trailer and depart for your assignment. Use all the equipment you were assigned. This means therapeutic foam pads, double reins, and breast straps are to be used on all horses.
