I really need to bathe and clip one of my horses, but the weather has been in the 70's daytime, 40's at night, with showers nearly every day. I know there is fungus under all that hair. I have no access to heated water to bathe him, and worry the tap water is too cold. If I can just get him bathed and clipped, it is no problem to blanket him.
Usually I can use the air compressor to clean down deep, but he is so muddy right now that isn't a good option. I can't even get the shedding comb through the matted mud. He is a mess. I suspect he is rolling in the mud because he is itchy, which makes it impossible to groom him, which makes him more itchy...
I heard the temperature needs to be above 80 to bathe, but what about water temperature?
What are my grooming options for my little mud ball?
