When bathing a horse, you need to consider how dirty your horse is and how much time you have to give him a bath. Another deciding factor is temperature.

Hot Toweling
2
Rinsing Off
3
Full Bath
Hot toweling is great for cold weather, even when it is snowing, because you never get your horse completely wet. This type of bath can take a bit of time to both setup and complete so you may only want to do so when absolutely necessary.
The very most basic kind of bath that you can give any horse is a “rinse off”. For this, you don’t need any special supplies. There are two methods you can choose from, depending what is available to you.
To give a horse a full bath you will want to start with rinsing your horse off. you don’t have to wait for the water to run clear. You just want as much of the mud / dirt off as possible.
