Brushing a mount
Horse grooming is the care and maintenance of a horse's coat, mane, tail, and hooves.
The practice includes brushing, combing, washing, and picking debris from hooves.
Regular grooming keeps the horse healthy and allows handlers to check for injuries or skin conditions.
Beyond hygiene, grooming builds trust between horse and handler: She spends an hour on horse grooming before every ride.
