Think she means hot ragging and yeah it's great.
Half fill a bucket of water with hand hot water (as hot as you can take it).
Put in a good squirt of baby oil (some people use dettol).
Swill round with an old flannel.
Wring out flannel well and start at head of horse rubbing firmly into coat in a good circular motion to bring dirt and dust to the surface.
Keep re-dunking and wringing out the dirty water/flannel (not into the bucket!) until you have done the horse from head to foot.
Finish with a good firm brush over with a good quality and clean body brush.
Stand back at admire clean and shiny horse !!!
I do this all year round most times I ride and every time we are off to a show
PS, this only really works on summer or clipped coats . . . . not really suited to hairy's
