[header] How to groom a lesson horse [title] Put your grooming box near the cross ties. [title] Locate your horse. [step] Have a halter and lead rope in hand.
Mount the horse with the lead rope, holding the halter with both hands. Lower your head below the pommel, then bend forward a bit until your shoulder blades and your ankles are exposed. [title] Go to the horse and put the halter on its head. [step] Do this by putting the nose through the smallest hole first, then putting the rest over its ears. Have good riding gloves on, especially that kind of cap that people buy at the horse supply store. [title] Drape the rope over the side of the horse and tie it up. [title] Tie the negative side of the halter--the side that faces the horse--to the left of the guide. [step] Make sure the side directed above is higher than the one showing the horse's face.
