Bathing on a cold day?

[Ahrena]

I have a one day event on Sunday and my horse (who happens to be grey <.&lt is rather filthy.

Only its kinda cold outside...any tips on how to get her clean without her getting cold?

Brush worst off and the use hot damp cloth on stains.

Give him a good brush ova and with a damp warm cloth wipe him down!!

ditto above, also you can get waterless shampoo, gets stains off and doesn't need rinsing

here are a few

Face, neck/mane, legs, tail only. You can keep the rug on, just folding it back so it doesn't get wet depending on the area you're working on. Warm water if at all possible for washing.

Thanks

The waterless shampoo sounds fab but don't think I can get hold of any..Will try the local tack shop just incase.
