Daily Currying and Horse Shampoo: Coat Care Routine Notes
Short answer: Curry when the horse's skin and coat tolerate it, bathe when sweat or dirt calls for it, choose a horse shampoo by the complete label rather than foam alone, rinse thoroughly, and dry the horse appropriately. ShowBarn Secret® Lavender Horse Shampoo is retired and no longer sold direct. There is no exact Draw It Out® replacement.
Daily currying routine
- Check the coat and skin for heat, swelling, rubs, crusts, hair loss, or tenderness before grooming.
- Use clean tools and pressure the horse accepts.
- Lift dried sweat and loose dirt before finishing with a softer brush.
- Clean shared tools regularly so grime is not moved from horse to horse.
When a bath makes sense
Bathing frequency depends on workload, weather, coat length, skin condition, facilities, and the product label. Use lukewarm water when practical, keep shampoo away from eyes and mucous membranes, rinse until the water runs clear, and avoid trapping moisture under tack or blankets.

Frequently asked questions
Should every horse be curried every day?
No single schedule fits every horse. Adjust pressure and frequency for coat condition, sensitivity, clipping, weather, workload, and veterinary guidance.
How often should I shampoo my horse?
