Here are a few MORE TIPS & help from the Grooming Expert herself, Trudy Midas (Espana Silk International) : **Clipping the back legs- be sure you tie that tail up! Don't want to have to explain to your wife or client how their horses tail got clipped off! **Fly Spray- use it! It can take a few minutes to get all 4 clipped and some horses may be a bit wiggly. When the flies are out help your horse a bit and use the fly spray! Summary- -Keep those legs dry -Keep their legs clipped so the fungus does not have anything to cling on to -Regularly apply your anti-fungal/antibacterial medication in conjunction with your Espana Silk Grooming Products Topical Spray. Find ALL your Grooming Product needs here: https://www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/shop-3 From Trudy: "All Natural Antiseptic Healing Shampoo as a healing base by letting the eucalyptus soak in for at least 5 minutes to work it's "magic" in the affected area and then rinse out to build a good foundation in conjunction with Espana Silk's Antiseptic Topical "Miracle" Spray which is beneficial to help rid scratches and many other skin issues like rain rot, sweet/girth itch, any skin irritation, sensitive skin needs, hair loss, hot spots, flee/tick repellant, anti-inflammatory/anti-itch for inner ears infections, hives, bug bites, etc.... removes fungus/mold/mildew on skin, hair & blankets/material.

Great question submitted from Grace! If you have questions you'd like answered be sure to send us a message and we'd be glad to film a video for you!

Knowing why is as important if not more so than knowing how to do something. Haltering is a phenomenal opportunity to work with your horse and set them up for success today and down the road. Take a watch as Colton discusses and shows the importance of effective haltering and how and why he does it the way he does.

A few thoughts as we got our morning started for our 3 Day Introduction to Liberty Clinic in Kentucky. There is not one blanket answer that suits every horse or even the majority of horses. Each horse and human combo takes its own approach. This clinic was a true testimony to that and as you listen you'll find how open we have to be to different approaches as it pertains to different horses, situations, humans and more.

Here Colton works with a 6 year old Dutch Sport Horse, Radar Love (x Redwine) while demonstrating and talking through his approach to properly warming up horses at the beginning of each ride. This question comes from a client of ours who is looking for guidance on how to make sure they can maintain the horse's progress once the horse leaves training and returns home.

Here is a quick, practical tip on adjusting your feeding routine to help decrease the chances of your horses forming ulcers due to feed time stress and excessive time without hay on their stomachs.

Here Colton shares why he doesn’t get too concerned when a horse bucks the first day back into work. Check out our entire free video library at: https://www.coltonwoodshorsemanship.com/video-library
