EMILY: It's Emily here from marketing with my horse, JZ,
and today we're going to go over our bathing routine and some
of the products I love to use when I give JZ a bath.
All right, so here is all the products
we're using for our bath today.
For shampoo we're using this Sore No-More Massage Shampoo.
And I have some bug spray, Ultra Shield EX, Keratex Hoof
Hardener, which I put on before the bath
so the moisture doesn't affect his feet.
Some Canter Mane and Tail Conditioner.
I have a medium brush, a soft face brush, a finishing brush,
a sponge, Oster mane and tail brush, a hoof pick, and then
lots of grooming gloves.
I have the HandsOn grooming glove, the Rubber Grooming
Mitts, and then I also have the Microfiber Bathing Mitt.
And then behind there I just have a sweat scraper,
and down here I have one of the Fortiflex Mini Buckets, which
is perfect size for putting in your shampoo for a bath.
And I also store all my bath stuff in there
when I'm not using it.
The first step, I'm going to pick his feet
so I can apply the Keratex Hoof Hardener
and give that some time to dry.
Ready?
Pick it up.
Good boy.
It's just applying this little sponge
and it's just going to protect his feet from the moisture
when I'm bathing him.
So first I like to do a grooming just
to get any big dirt and mud off and to get down to the skin.
And I'm using the HandsOn Grooming Glove, which
I'm absolutely obsessed with.
It's so nice for currying but also gives a nice massage.
It fits into all the curves of their body
since it's shaped like your hand,
and he absolutely loves being groomed with this.
He's being very fresh today.
It does come in a pair, but I normally
only use my right hand glove--
or my right hand to curry-- so that's what I'm doing today.
Feel good?
This is so nice.
I even do it lightly on the legs since I can really control
the pressure where it's going.
Really great for shedding season and also thick coats
during the winter.
I really use these all year long.
Good boy.
You're a good boy.
OK, when that's done, I'm just going
to come in with a medium stiffness brush
and get all that loose hair and dirt off.
All right, from there I'm just going
to give his face a quick brushing.
Good boy.
Then I also just run a brush through his mane and his tail.
Wild mane.
You're on camera, you have to at least pretend to behave.
All right, and then I'm just going to sweep up this mess
and then get started on bathing.
You excited?
I can tell.
So the shampoo I'm using today is this Sore No-More Massage
Shampoo.
So it takes the liniment and then combines it
with a shampoo so it's herbal, refreshing,
fells like a mini spa day, really good for their muscles,
but also leaves the hair really silky, really smooth.
There's no harsh sulfates or other things like that,
so I feel great using it on him.
So I'm just going to squirt a little of that into the bucket.
And you want to--
I forgot, you do want to shake this before you use it.
There we go.
I find a little bit goes a long way with this shampoo.
This bottle will last me forever.
Let's get the water temperature just right.
Can you move over?
Thank you.
I'm just going to fill up that bucket.
You can see it makes really nice suds
and just has this amazing fresh herbal scent.
I know it's so scary, I know!
Get his tail nice and wet.
Good boy.
All right, so first step I'm going
to use the Grooming Mitt which has nice little curry pebbles
on it, but very gentle.
But it really gets down to the skin and gets all that dirt up.
Next up is this super cool Microfiber Grooming Mitt.
Just slip that on.
So it's got little pompoms on one side and then more
like a washcloth material--
you know you're on camera--
on the other side.
So that's really good if you have a really dirty area
you can really scrub.
But I really like to use this all over the body.
It's the only thing I use on his legs since it's super gentle,
and it picks up the soap really nicely too.
Almost done.
I know, worst day ever.
Now I'm going to use what's left of my bucket
and just dip his tail in here.
Good boy.
I can just pour it down his tail.
Good boy.
All right, time for a rinse.
Get this bucket out of the way.
I love that shampoo because it rinses clean so nicely.
I don't feel like I have any soap or residue left
on him after rinsing.
Also, just going to get a little water on this cloth--
yeah, you know what's coming--
and just wash, wipe his face down,
since I clearly won't be getting near that with the hose.
Let me get those eyes.
Get the goopies.
Can I get that nose, and get those ears?
Yeah.
Get that forelock.
OK, and time for the scraper.
Next up I am just going to put some Canter Mane and Tail
Conditioner in his mane and in his tail.
The stuff makes it so silky and easy to brush.
So no summer bath routine is complete without a hand grazing
session.
So we are going to head outside and enjoy this lovely evening
while he dries.
So I sprayed JZ down with our UltraShield EX Fly Spray,
and he is now happily grazing while he dries.
I see those dapples coming out, oh yeah.
JZ is nice and dry, so for a finishing touch
I'm going to use the Haas Diva Exclusive Brush.
It has really soft outer bristles and then
an incredibly soft sheepskin center,
so it really just takes any fine dust off and leaves
such a beautiful shine.
It's my favorite brush.
Good boy.
So nice and clean.
Look at that shine--
so beautiful.
You're so handsome.
So there you have it.
A perfectly clean horse.
