DIRT & DUST: If you bathe your horse before our session make sure they have enough time to dry. Make sure that you have double-checked that your pony is free of dirt. A good way to do this is by wiping your horse down with a towel before the session begins.

FACE: Check inside your horse’s ears, nose, and in the folds of their eyes. Be a perfectionist here for those close-ups! Looks for any spots where hair may be ruffled up or not laying smooth.

WHITES: Make sure any white on their legs or face is free of stains. Don’t forget to use Baby Powder or White Spray.
