Question
HEY,MY NAME IS JACOB AND I AM LOOKING TO BUY A HORSE.I WAS JUST WANTING TO KNOW THE BASIC GROOMING SUPPLIES AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF A HORSE.

Answer
The basic things that you will need for a horse they are as follows: ( I keep this stuff always on hand in a grooming tote or tool box )
hoof pick
rubber curry
soft brush (6+ inches long)
hard dandy brush (for mud but be careful when using it may hurt horse)
mane and tail brush (human brush works well)
scissors
clean rags/ towels
hole punch
fly spray
first aid kit and antibiotic cream
3M vet wrap
Halter, lead rope

Find a good farrier/shoer or blacksmith, you horse will need his feet done every 4-6 weeks. Find a good vet in your area. Deworm every 6-8 weeks (talk to your vet). Find a good horse buddy, someone that knows horses. Please contact me if you need more help. Best of luck!
