I just found an interesting horse cleaning hint that I have not seen before...now that it's too cold in most places to bathe your horse. Use Swiffer cloths to wipe down your horse and they will remove all the dust and old hair and leave him nice and shiny! Anyone ever try this?

They were the dry ones. I'm going to try and remember to take one out and see what it does. I've used a vacuum before, which works great, but don't have one now, and hot toweling is a hassle.

I know that sounded like an obvious question but I know about some people whose horse had some sort of skin infection so they took it to a car wash to wash off the scabs. It takes all kinds...

OMG I am dying laughing just now. I wish you had pics of that to post, were these people the same ones hauling that monstrosity of a trailer that someone posted a few weeks ago?

We used to take our 4-H steers to the car wash and wash them. We'd tie them to the back of the tractor, walk them down and use the scrub brush to wash and then rinse. (with it the way the water comes out with out holding down the handle for the pressure!)
