Horse Shower: refreshment at the wash bay
A horse shower makes the wash bay at the yard much more comfortable. Instead of struggling with the garden hose, you hose your horse down with a targeted spray head, cool legs and body after training or rinse out shampoo thoroughly. Permanently mounted, swivelling showers reach the whole horse from above without a hose lying in the way. A salt shower gives washing a special touch.
Spray head or fixed shower
A hose spray head with different spray patterns simply fits onto the hose. A soft spray suits the body, a targeted jet the hooves and legs. A permanently installed horse shower is mounted on a wall or post and can be swivelled, so you can reach both sides of the horse without moving it. Matching posts make installation possible even where there is no wall nearby.
Salt shower as an extra
With a salt shower, a salt stick is inserted into the spray head and slowly dissolves in the water during showering. Many riders use the salt water to freshen coat and skin after training, or as a care treatment reminiscent of a swim in the sea. The sticks are easy to reorder. With skin problems, this does not replace a check by your vet.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hose my horse down with cold water after riding?
On warm days, hosing down after training is a good way to refresh. Start at the legs and work your way slowly upwards so that your horse gets used to the temperature. Then scrape off the water and let it dry while walking or in a sheltered spot.
How do I get my horse used to the shower?
Start with a gentle spray on the hooves and legs and praise calm behaviour. Never spray directly into the face or ears. With short, positive sessions, most horses soon accept being showered and even start to enjoy it.
Can I cool my horse's legs with water?
Yes, many riders cool the legs with cold water after hard work. Hold the spray on the tendons and joints for a few minutes. If there is swelling, heat or lameness, you should always ask your vet.
Pleasant hosing down at the wash bay
Especially in summer, a shower after riding is simply part of the routine for many horses. With a spray head that fits onto the garden hose, you adjust the spray as needed: gentle for the body, stronger for hooves and muddy legs. A permanently mounted, swivelling horse shower reaches your horse from above and leaves both hands free for the sponge or sweat scraper. Where there is no wall nearby, a sturdy post provides the support you need. For a special care experience there are salt showers, into which you insert a salt stick that slowly dissolves in the water. You can also buy the sticks individually as refills, so the next salt shower does not have to wait. With the right shower, the wash bay becomes a place where your horse enjoys cooling off.
