- Rubber Gloves
- Mild Soap
- Rubber Gloves
- Horse Shampoo
- Sweat Scrapers
- Blankets
-
Step 1
Wait until the horse is relaxed so that he will let his penis hang down from his penile sheath. The best time is usually after a workout.
-
Step 2
Wear rubber gloves. If you don't, the smell from a dirty shaft will cling to your hands long after you are done washing it.
-
Step 3
Check the horse's penis for dirt. Look for black greasy material - called smegma - and flakes of dead skin.
-
Step 4
Mix up a fresh pail of warm soapy water. Ivory soap is best.
-
Step 5
Put your gloved hand into a clean tube sock.
-
Step 6
Apply the soapy water to the shaft with the tube sock.
-
Step 7
Scrub, when necessary. Smegma can accumulate in the folds of the penis and be difficult to remove. Even when scrubbing, always be gentle.
-
Step 8
Rinse away all traces of the soapy water. Any soap residue left can cause severe shaft irritation.
-
Step 9
Avoid washing the shaft too often. One or twice a year is usually often enough.

on 9/17/2008 I don't sedate my Stallion or my Geldings. I also don't recommend Ivory Soap, because it does leave a residue...there are commercially prepared products for this, or your vet can recommend a good cleaner. I usually have someone hold a leg up while I am handling the Stallion or if I am alone, I can place him up against the wall of his stall. FYI white or lighter colored horses tend to become dirty faster.

on 4/12/2008 I have three geldings and two stallions, and their sheaths get cleaned every six months. They don't seem to mind it, so I do not need to sedate them
