Horse Bathing Tools and Equipment

Making sure your horse looks and feels well starts with routine grooming since it promotes a healthy coat, skin and hooves. Horse bathing tools and equipment, found in the selection of horse products at Tractor Supply, will prove to be a huge help during grooming time.

Keep Your Horse Clean and Healthy

Sometimes, bathing your horse can feel like a big job, especially when you need to use several tools to effectively clean all the parts of your animal. Our bathing tools and equipment simplify the process to help you get it done:

Horse Step Stools

Reach all the areas of your horse with horse step stools that elevate you to get all parts clean. Made with sturdy plastic, these stools have two or three steps for a better vantage point. Some also have storage compartments to keep your sponges, brushes and other equipment nearby.

Horse Sponges

Get a thorough clean with horse sponges. Smaller sizes are ideal for cleaning the head, while larger designs help you cover more area on the body. Some options feature a palm pad for a secure grip, while others have a compact design that allows for storing in small spaces between uses.

Horse Wash Mitts

Horse wash mitts feature an ergonomic style for simple use. Many have rubber surfaces or bristles that get into the nooks and crannies of your horse’s undercoat and hair for indepth grooming that can remove debris and dirt. Some also offer a massage-like feel that your horse will enjoy. You’ll find mitts made specifically for right-hand use, along with ambidextrous options.

Horse Sweat Scrapers

Remove built-up sweat and or excess water after grooming with horse sweat scrapers. Many feature a head and handle design, with heads made of lightweight plastic to be thorough but gentle on your horse. Some handles feature leather grips for easy handling, while others are curved for an ergonomic grasp. Other options come in a sponge form with rubber grooves to remove sweat after training or exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions about Horse Bathing Equipment

How often should you bathe your horse?

The frequency of bathing your horse will vary depending on many factors, such as:

• Activity level: Horses that are more active with training, riding and exercise need more frequent bathing to remove mud, sweat and debris.
• Competition participation: If you show your horse or they compete, they’ll often need to be bathed more frequently to look their best.
• Type of barn or stable: In some stables or barns, bathing is a frequent occurrence being done weekly. In others, horses may not get bathed for months at a time.
  

It’s important to keep in mind that washing your horse too often may strip their skin of natural oils and result in a dry coat and skin that's prone to infections
