The dandy brush is used in short, flicking movements to remove the dust and pieces of dirt. Just like the curry comb, use it actively otherwise the horse will think you are tickling him.

To tie up a horse you must do a quick release knot so you can release the horse easily if he panics and pulls. Take the rope attached to his head collar. Make a first loop that you bring through the string. So the first loop, make a 2nd one that you bring through the first one, a third one through the 2nd and until the end of the rope, then you can rest the little bit left through the last loop. To release him, you can just pull that, pull it nice and tight, and the horse would be free. You now know how to tie up a horse safely. See you soon for other videos!

To put on a saddle, always stand on the horse's left side. It is an old tradition from the middle ages, so the knights wouldn't hurt their horse with their sword held on the left side. Start by placing the numnah that protects the horse's back and the withers, some horse more sensitive may need a shock absorber. Here it is, and it goes on top of the numnah. And the saddle. Make sure the stirrups are folded and that the girth is placed over the saddle. Once the saddle is placed behind the shoulder blade, make sure that nothing is pinching the withers, by lifting the numnah a little bit. The saddle mustn't be too in front or too far away on the horse's back. Bring the girth down and tighten a little for the moment, and once the horse has done a few steps, tighten more so the saddle doesn't turn when the rider is about to get on the horse. There you go !

Use a hoof pick to pick out his hooves. To pick up his leg, bring your hand slowly down his leg. Press it a little so he lifts his foot. If he doesn't, you can slightly push him with your shoulder and there he normally lifts it up. Once the hoof is up, place it well in your hand, like this. With the hoof pick, start by picking out all the mud and stones around the frog. The frog is like a 2nd heart for the horse, it allows him to know what he is walking on. Once the hoof is getting cleaner and cleaner, we will see this "V" shape, which is called the frog, it is very sensitive, so be careful not use your hoof pick on it. You can clean it with a little brush, like the rest of the foot. It's done! Put down his leg and you now know how to pick out a horse's hooves! See you soon for other videos!
