Brush them before riding with a dandy brush, body brush and ribber curry comb, and pick out all of their hooves, with a hoof pick. When riding ALWAYS slip a numnah or saddle cloth under the saddle, and make sure the girth is not to loose - or to tight at that matter. After a hard days work, may it be racing jumping or dressage, use a sweat-scarper to calm the horse down, and a water brush. Plus if its warm, and sunny, give them a ralaxing bath and massage. And always let your horse b turned out 4 at least 13hrs a day.
