As title, how do you do it/what even is it

you take nearly-boiling water with a bit of soda crystals in it, and put a cloth in, wring it out, and wipe over a clipped-out horse to take all the dust etc off it. keeps them clean and shiny, might feel nice too i guess?
 
I do it without the soda crystals, just really, really hot water. Probably one of the single best things I've been taught to do with horses (thanks jumpthemoon

) because it is so simple but makes such a difference.

Bex, we used to do this too at the stud I worked at - hot clothed the coat and then strapped dry - it worked pretty well but I must admit I never did this on my own horses!
 
Also seen it done with vinegar instead of soda crystals and I've done it with just a little shampoo in the bucket to.
Will be doing this on horse at the weekend who has a filthy coat but can't be bathed due to leg wounds.
 
We do it with a little baby oil in, or just lavendar wash/non rinse shampoo (just a touch mind) and very hot water. Not necessarily after clipping but great for bringing the scurf out of the horses coat for when it's too cold or there's not enough time for a proper bath. Tho' I call it hot ragging, so the hot clothing bit got me a bit puzzled, same thing!

I was imagining clothing that was very very fashionable, that made wearers look "hot" as Americans would say.

Is there any room on that arse bench for the biggest arse of all.........? I thought, due to being an untrendy old git, that it was horsey hotpants or some other fashion statement........*hangs head in shame too*

I do it with vinegar def after clipping (or just a bit of supoer hypoallergenic shampoo - wussy horse!) much better than brushing for getting grease off and stops brush getting all horrid
 
Guilty of thinking it might have been a post about something KP might wear....so I didn't read the post until now.

Hot water and vinegar (we used to call it a vinegar bath), makes them so shiny and then, if using malt, they smell of fish and chips, so you are really starving and have to visit the chippy!
