Regular horse care is essential to keep the horse healthy. Cleaning the horse's coat, called grooming, and picking out the horse's hooves should be done daily. Grooming is especially important so that dirt and sand underneath the saddle and bridle doesn't cause rubbing spots and pain for the horse. To groom a horse, multiple brushes are used. When grooming the horse it is important to know which brush to use on what part of the horse's body. Belly and back need a lot of brushing but don't forget to clean the legs and the head.
