How to bath a Horse for a Dressage Show? Tutorial with Olivia Towers | Guest Vlog 

step one: have a horse

Step one: have a perfectly clean, gorgeous horse

Still watched this even though I know how to bathe a horse 😂

Please tell me I wasn't the only one who noticed that side eye Barbie gave when she said, "Honestly this place is so noisy with animals." at 6:09😂 Loved this video!😂👏🏽

That horse is absolutely perfection! The perfect shade of palomino too!

I’ll never stand behind a horse after playing RDR

I know how to bathe a horse but these videos are so satisfying to watch

You couldn't have picked a better FEI representative...Olivia is a 💘

i dont do dressage but i enjoy watching

Wow I didn't know Barbie had dapples!! I'm even more in love!

Love FEI love Olivia Towers 💕

I love spinning the tail it's the best part of bathing a horse

After seeing this I appreciate my black mare even more! One question though: I was taught to always sweat scrape (particularly when it’s hot) as water in their coat insulates and raises body temp. Your thoughts please? Thanks for the video - I learned 😁 Further to above I’m told the “scrape or they over-heat is a myth”. Agree to a point - but my girls coat will wet in the rain yet her skin is dry.

I would just like to add, while filming this I might as well have had a bath 🙈🤣 fun to film though. I learned some stuff.

Your horse is so pretty

i just wanted to say what a beautiful horse you have! ❤️🐎

Just from watching this video I am so into Horses

Your videos are fabulous I love them

Great video and beautiful horse ❤

Such a beautiful horse

Super informative, high quality video. Well done!

Another great fei blog and Barbie was such a good girl

I love that she got her dinner afterwards.

Beautiful horse 🐎

What a beautiful horse and such a patient baby 💝

OMG she is so pretty! What kind of breed is she? What is here origin? Would love to know that. She is beautiful!!

This is one of the reasons that Olivia Towers is so brilliant.. I can simply just watch her wash a horse and find it enjoyable 😂😍

This video is so satisfying

Ready for the show, smelling like an Hawaiian vacation....nice!

I'll tell you an easier way: 1. Prepare your materials (room, water, hose, bucket, sponge, scrubber [I like to use a rubber makeup scrubber you can put on your hand, really handy], shampoo, conditioner), I also like to brush the horse behorehand to get most of the dust and dirt out of their coat 2. Wet the horse starting with their feet and backside to let them adjust to the water, you can use a sponge to wet the face if your horse doesn't like the water sprayed on their face or try getting them to play with the water with their snout and work upwards from that when the horse is more comfortable 3. Mix shampoo with water in the bucket, apply it to the horse with the sponge starting from the highest point (their neck) and work your way along the horse making sure to completely lather them in the shampoo mixture, wash the mane 4. Take the scrubber and start scrubbing the horse, again, starting with the highest point, don't use the scrubber on sensitive areas like underbelly, legs, genitalia, snout and general eyes area, use a sponge for those 5. To easily wash the tail just dip it into the bucket with the shampoo mixture to wet it, then work the shampoo in with your hands 6. Wash the horse's face with a sponge or using your hands, if the horse doesn't like the sponge in their face 7. Rinse off the shampoo, starting with the face, then neck and working your way along, be sure to carefully wash everything out 8. Dry off the horse by wringing out its tail (don't hurt it obviously), squeezing the mane to get the excess water out and scrape it down or even towel-dry them if it's really cold (and put a fleece blanket over them) If you want to use conditioner then start by washing the tail, then mane and putting the conditioner in before you wash the horse's body. I sometimes use a coat spray with macadamia or argan oil or whatever (which is actually for my dog lol) to spray down the horse when it's about towel-dry and brush that through their coat if I need an extra shine on it.

awsome vid

broooooo you’re so pretty

She is gorgeous and so squeaky clean. :) and patient.

Purple shampoo🧴is the best. Love the white 🧦 mine hate when I wash there head 🧼 she’s beautiful

Use a bucket to soak the tail it helps break up the manure out of her tail. I have a palomino too. I use dawn dish soap for the tail and then bag it.

Good very nice

Ha, thanks! My horse Rose was gettin' a bit dirty running around the farm. She just had a foal we called Gallop. Gallop is male and is 2 months old now.

Barb is a lovely mare

I feel like my horse hates when I bathe it, always kicking but she’s been more patient with me as I’ve gotten better !

I discovered something accidentally - Head n Shoulders 2-1 is what I use for the first 'shampooing' and do the purple stuff for the second. The difference the H&S gives is unbelievable. Makes it super white, super soft (my whole horse is white). My husband used it accidentally on my mare and I was so wowed with how she looked. I stopped using regular horse shampoos after that.

well brushed,well pention found,well self tools,mistake beside position,bravo bravo for natural oil lousion (use for 4 legs),welled shampoo very well,and more

My palomino mares father was gray so she has a ton of black in her tail and it's a royal pain luckily it's on the inside so it doesnt show much. But her mane is platinum white thankfully but the white bits of her tail are a pain because she lives in a field with a muddy pond so how you whiten them is helpful

I know how to bathe a horse I’m not going to a show and I don’t even do dressage!😂I’m watching for no reason

❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this great video, i have seen a washing of a horse earlier, that made me angry, he washed the horse in a carwash :(

I need to know the camera they used😍😍😍

Is your water warm? My pony hates the bath. I wash him once a year. He is mostly white and loves to roll.

Anyone else watching, even though they bathe horses constantly🤣

You use tap water? What about warm water especially in cold weather?

Are you using warm water ?

Is this a palomino ? Please someone answer me for I'm confused. She looks chestnut but has a white mane.

Bathe. BATHE! You BATHE a horse! *cries*

Which shampoo use to clean dandruff in our horse body

How do you get her mane to stay on one side? My horses mane is mainly on one side but he still has a section which isn’t

What happened to the sweat rug? Unless its hot in summer that horse will get cold before dry

You must really trust your horse if you go behind it to wash the tail. Last person I watched they stayed to the side as they washed the tail. They said its a good habit to be in that position cause you dont know how the horse will react with different water pressure and just in case its good to stay too the side to not get kicked.

my horse won't stand still while washing so that's great hahah

I'd take it through a car wash you always get a free air freshener 😁

watch bending down to wash a tail like that one kick is all it takes especially dealing with a young one. I pull my horse's tail to the side and wash it. This is prob the #1 rule of good horsemanship. I've seen way too many horse accidents in my life.

Waw

Me watching for the thousands time 👁👄👁

nuh nuh you need to be more pro in cleaning them and use the shampoo properly to satisfy them and make them feel fresh and look clean also take large amount of shampoo to make sure u cover the whole tail and give them a good rought rub that is satifying trhem brings out there dead cells and make him or her look a new positive look

نصيحة لا تقترب مني احب النظافة بشكل رهيب بشكل لا يصدق

😂😂😂😂😊❤❤🎉🎉

Me too so satisfying

Manes and tails shed just like the rest of them. Combing and brushing help remove those shedded hairs. Looses hairs are what starts those nasty mats

How tall is she?

the horse has a better bath than me.

At least you don’t have to deal with a wooly fjord 😒🤣

u know u don't have a life anymore when u recognize olivia towers from the thumbnail from her hair.

Who doesn't have a horse but is here

i dont even have a dog but i still watched this 20 min video, what is wrong with me?

are you the owner of the barn and land

You didn’t really touch the sides when you ‘washed’ her body. It was like a splash of water cool down. Their coat has such depth, in order to get into their coat ans remove the dust, it would take a clean with greater depth.

I get so nervous when anyone stands behind a horse....

If I want a horse I’m scared to wash his tail bc I’m scared he will kick me and boom I’m dead fr 💀

There is so many treats that you can give to a horse that are so much better then sugar...

Romans 13:12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the amor of light.

Bathe*?

Most of us watching this vedio does not have a horse😂

As we medical folk say, " clean to dirty":)

You’re not afraid of getting kicked when you work from behind?

FEI considering the ban of bitless bridles in their cross country competitions is completely stupid! I ride in a bit but I know that people who ride bitless will stop competing in FEI global events. Don’t do it

she looks like Malibu Barbie

Megan taking a shower

What! No hot tub? No bubble bath?! No Pedi? MOM!!!!

I heard a horse doesn't bath

The last thing I would do is cleaning a horse tail which has pee on it plus poop

Step one: you should have a horse...

Never will I stand behind a horse

You bathe a horse or give the horse a bath. You don't bath it.

Ok so she stands behind a horse with no protection, that is risky.

Step one: have a dirty horse this horse is gleaming

One of the least annoying Olivia Towers videos wish she acted like this more often
