youngsters, freshen up older
horses, and for owners looking
to get the most out of their
dollar.

expense (show sheen, hoof
black, acrylic paint, sand
paper, clipper blades,

cost of having such great
grooms and helpers to apply
it, as well as the time it
takes to saddle, unsaddle,
coach and show a horse.

vigorously preparing your horse;
clipping, tail washing, sanding
