JUST SAY CHEESE!
Preparing your horse for a photo shoot is easy, with a little planning. Rick & Shelley Mowery are real pros, and had Smart Sugar Badger looking his best. Bathing is just one part, the attention to all the tiny details are just as vital, down to top of the line tack. The beauty supply store is a great place to find shine and control products that make a difference in how polished your horse can look.
*** TIP***
Plan ahead with ground work to have your horse ready and willing to stand for a half hour at a time. I desensitize my foals to having their hooves tapped with my toe, to move each foot to a better stance. Older horses can learn this too, and will make your photo day much more relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
***Tip*** Getting the white whiter is sometimes a chore, add heavy feathers to your horse and its downright a nightmare. Dawn Dish Detergent with Bleach, followed with a good conditioner was suggested by Gypsy Horse Breeders as their favorite tip.
***Tip*** Athletic socks are great to control heavy feathers during shoeing, hoof cleaning, etc. Just cut off the toe and slip them on, use a little vet wrap to secure them if needed.
