It's that time of year again! After yesterday's evening hose-down, I finally forced myself to perform my least favorite equine activity. Despite the uncomfortable and unpleasant (is it just me, or do all horse sheaths have that same distinct scent?) nature of sheath cleaning, it is a very important part of your horses' health. 

Check out this great article for more information (and diagrams) on

 how to clean your horse's sheath!
