Grooming.. your horses likes and dislikes....

[ginginandtonic]

My boy generally likes being groomed.. BUT he hates his face being brushed. He will let me do it.. but he makes a fuss and snorts at me a lot

He also has a tickleish bit at the top of both his back legs.

And yours?

Dolly loves everywhere except her mane.

Stan puts up with it, hates his tummy everytime and sometimes hates his face. He pulls faces and pretends to bite. -One day he may get me.

Mr M likes it anywhere....he's just that sort of guy

Pyrus is not keen on his head being brushed in winter because its usually clogged up with mud.

I did have a very ticklish horse, chest/neck and you risked having your arm torn off.

mine hates his ears/face being done and his mane being combed hehe.
loves his tummy brushed

Mine loves being groomed, doesn't dislike anything.
But if you brush anywhere near his bum or the top of his tail (especially down the sides of his dock) he LOVES it!

Roe hates her face being done but will accept a soft grooming glove type of thing. Also a bit grumpy under her belly too and will stamp her hind leg and throw a look of displeasure if I get to vigorous with the mud

 

[Jojo_Pea4]

Pea dislikes his tummy and between his front legs. He loves his ears and face being scratched falls asleep. But also likes his back legs being groomed.

My lad tolerates it. If he's in the right mood he doesn't mind - as long as he's got something to occupy him - but if he's in a grump he gets very fidget-y and pulls some lovely faces.

The two ponies love it, especially in winter when they're all hairy and muddy and have a good scrubbing with a curry comb!

 

[chaps89]

Phoenix loves it- especially with a rubber massager/curry comb pad.
Duchess is a cow bag

Body and bum are ok, but you risk your life doing neck/chest/tummy! Or at least I do, she gets on better with mum

 

[Cazzah]

Baz hates anything involving a brush on his body - have to double tie and use a goat hair brush to avoid being killed. He does, however, love being bathed, clipped or his mane or tail pulling?! Odd bod!!

i have a stroppy temperamental mare so some days she wont give a monkeys about being groomed and other days she will be as agressive as possible to get me off her lol...dont think its just the grooming pretty much like that with everything ..although she does like her neck brushed and scratched after having an itchy rug on

 

[yeeharider]

my boy loves being groomed in general ,he adores being scrubbed with his nuzzler and sheer heaven if you scratch between his front legs with the shedding blade he will even show you where he needs an extra hard scratch or if you have missed a bit, his party piece though is to stand on 3 legs back leg held high so you can rub along his belly all this whilst grunting sighs of approval strange boy!!!!!!
