Hi, I use a bucket of very hot water with a dash of soap and use an old facecloth or towel and scrub the coat. You can do it in the stable as hardly any water drips of the cloth and it is a very effective method on manes and tails as well. Don't need to rinse or use a sweat scraper.
We had a little welsh D who had never been bathed before and after a couple of times doing it this way, he can now cope with a hose, sponge and water running of him!
