Aloe vera and Horse Grooming
Aloe Vera is great for increasing tissue suppleness by binding moisture to the skin. Equine eczema and psoriasis sufferers benefit greatly from Aloe Vera used internally and topically. Aloe has a balancing effect on the skin – it promotes healthy tissue growth and removal of dead skin – by stimulating the normal growth of living cells. It provides maximum penetration to protect against dryness and cracking.

How To Grow a Long, Luxurious Horse Tail!
Keep their horses in a good show weight, but it also makes their coats bloom. A horse who is healthy and shiny (and frankly a little fat) to begin with makes it easier to create a beautifully clean horse at the show.
Every Day Grooming
Horses in the care of a professional, are always groomed twice a day; before and after they are worked. Whether they are just lunged, or ridden, they are always groomed habitually. The following is an example of a daily grooming regime:
Curry combs the horse’s coat vigorously.
- Spray diluted moisturizing spray over the entire coat, mane, and tail feathers
- Brush the body with a soft brush, brushing away loose hair, and brushing in the moisturizing spray
- Carefully comb through/ detangle the mane and tail feathers
- Pick the feet
- Clip any long whiskers or a long bridlepath
This was all done before any tack or protective equipment was put on the horse, and it was all done again after the horse had been worked and properly cooled off. If the horse got too hot and sweaty during his workout session he would get rinsed and sponged with a mixture of special oils and liniments.
