horse groomer

Equine coat tender

A horse groomer is a person who cares for horses' coats, manes, hooves, and overall appearance.

The work involves brushing, bathing, trimming, and checking for injuries or health problems.

Professional groomers work at stables, racetracks, and equestrian facilities: The horse groomer noticed swelling in the mare's left foreleg.

The term also applies to someone who grooms horses casually or as part of broader stable duties.
