Taylor untacked Blue in the lesson barn and put his tack away in the feed/tack room. She led him outside into the boiling summer air. She tied him up in the wash stall and grabbed a bottle of mane & tail horse shampoo. "Let's get started, buddy!" she said, patting his neck.
She turned the hose on and started wetting Blue down. He snorted and tossed his head, but he seemed to be enjoying the cool water.
After Taylor had made sure that Blue was fully wet down, she grabbed the shampoo and squirted some onto a wet washing sponge. She started scrubbing Blue's back with it.
When she was done, Taylor hosed Blue down again then grabbed a sweat-scraper. She knocked all of the water off Blue's body then led him back to his stall.
She made the water a little bit warm inside Blue's stall, so he wouldn't colic when he drank from the trough, then gave him an apple-flavored treat.
"See you later, boy!" Taylor said, walking out of the barn.
