. Grooming: To groom a horse,you need a few essential things.
- Curry Comb -Using this,you brush in circles.
- Brush- Start at the head/neck and work your way down.Using a Flicking motion.
- Hoof Pick - Pinch the back of the horses leg,and pick it up. Work around the "V" Formation (Frog) in the horses hoof and work outwards.

Saddles & Such
There are two main ways of Riding,English and Western.
Western,has a horn on the pommel. And is very distinct...
The English saddle is more elegant and ways much less. But does not have a horn. To ride english you need balance.More then Western Riders in my opinion.
Halters-Halters are used when not riding,To tie a horse to groom and so on.
Lead Rope- To lead the horse.It is a piece of rope that attaches to the horses halter under the neck.
Cross Ties- Connects to the halter.Used when grooming,etc.
