Grooming 
        Grooming is more than just brushing the mud off of the coat to make the horse look good. Regular grooming cleans the horse's skin to keep it healthy. If hard work is put into brushing the horse, it will even improve its circulation. It is also a very good way to get to know a pony and for a pony to get to know you! Here is the most of the equipment used for grooming;
