During the warmer summer months, it is recommended that you switch up your horse grooming routine. As the days become hotter, horse shows are on the go, flies are everywhere and sweat starts to build much easier, it is important that you try and help your horses stay as comfortable and cool as possible. In this blog we will be discussing some of our top tips for maintaining your horse’s mane in summer.
Your horse’s mane has many roles – from insect and fly control to simply looking good for horse shows. This is why it is important to switch up your mane care routine during the summer months without disrupting your horse’s natural habits. For example, instead of completely shaving off your horse’s mane like you might do for a dog, it may be more preferable to thin and shorten your horse’s mane. This way, there will still be some fly protection and keep your horse looking fantastic for potential shows.
If you wanted to switch up your horse’s appearance ever so slightly, you could also consider loosely braiding some sections of their mane to help with air flow and keep things tidy.
