How often do you bathe your horses? We usually bathe our horses once a month.

I found this article on how to make your horses accept bathing. I remember the first time that we bathe our horse and it just struggled to be free. If only I have read this article then we would not go into hard times teaching our horses to take a bath.

Here is the article: http://www.kbrhorse.net/tra/bath01.html
Bathing a horse who doesn't want to cooperate can be a traumatic experience that can often lead to the human becoming wetter than the horse and the horse more firmly convinced than ever that bath time is tantamount to a torture session. So how do you break the anti-bath cycle?

Sounds like the first time you bathe a newborn, but alot more intense. How long did it take the first time and how long does it take now that the horse is used to it? I have bathed dogs, cats, children - but I think a horse (to me) seems like a 3 person job. :D

Getting a mental picture of a horse in a bathtub.:)

I know how much trouble one of my dogs is to bathe, I can only imagine a horse that doesn't want to cooperate. What a mess!
