Bathing, Braiding & Grooming!

Couldn't had paid for better weather! 

Let's get these horses clean! 
After painting these horses sure needed a good scrub down. 
The students planned accordingly and dove right in. 
Surprisingly we had no water fights and we stayed dryer than I thought we would :) 
The horses came out beautiful! 







We learned finishing touches on bathing and spit polish grooming! 
These girls worked hard!

On to braiding! One of our resources is a book called Braiding Manes & Tails by Charni Lewis, 
This is a great book and Roux's braid was right off the front cover, a Diamond-Braided Mane. 






While the other students learned shorter styles of braiding with Brody's shorter mane. 


Both horses had stunning tail braids! 


We finished up with a quick wrapping lesson using polo wraps in spectacular colors. 














                              We had to finish up with a grand parade on Bailey Hill!
