How to Comb a Horse's Mane & Forelock

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kelli and this is Covey on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you my options and techniques on how to groom your horse. Now we are going to comb through her mane and her forelock. We are going to use a nice comb like this. So we are just going to go through. We have already conditioned her mane when we shampooed it so it is really nice and easy to get through. Some of them if you have really thicker mane or if they get a little more tangle, you might have to comb through like a picking motion to get through the knots. But hers is really nice and condition so it is really to comb through. Horse's don't have a lot of feeling in their mane so you can pull on it pretty hard without bothering them. So if they do have a big knot or anything like that, you don't have to worry about pulling too hard it to get it out. It does not really bother them. So now that we have combed through that, we got any loose hair off, any tangles out we would comb through her forelock a little bit. So we would stand in front of her. Just take the comb brush down the forelock, get any tangles out. Get it nice and smooth. Get any saw dust out, any dirt out that might be stuck in there mane or there forelock. So they would look nice and clean. That is how you want to comb your mane and forelock."
