*Krista walks in grooming box in hand. She walks over the Brambles head so that he can see her and gently takes off the plain black, extra halter she had used just to lead him here. She Then carefully slips on a red, white and blue halter, followed with blue lead rope. She leads Brambles out into the isle way and pats Brambles contiusly and speaking to him softly.*

*Curry comb in hand she starts to rub the brush getting all the dirt and shedding hair, in circles. When she is sure every piece of dirt and shedding hair is off she brushes it all of with a hard brush, leaving a dull yet very clean coat. She then brushes with a soft brush alot of times and comes up with a shiny, healthy, clean coat. Even the legs glimmer. She then carefully walks up to his face, not wanting to startle him she lets him smell the face mitt. When she is sure he does not mind she rubs his face gently just like with the curry comb. For the face she uses the soft brush to get all the hair off of leaving a strokingly beautiful shimmering face.*

*She then slowly gets out clippers and shows them to Brambles, hoping he likes them. She puts them on slow speed so Brambles can get used to the sound, and gently pushes it against his coat. She lets it stay there a couple of minutes, so he gets used to it then gives him a sugar cube as a reward. She then works quickly clipping all the winter fur, leaving a summer coat. She then clips a heart on his hindquarter and laughs. She then feeds another sugar cube.*

*Working quickly fearing that the pony may get bored she turns on the hose and hoses him gently down getting all the hair from the clipping off leaving a stunning coat, also putting a little mild soap for a healthy coat. She uses a sweat scraper and walks him around until dry. She combs through his mane, tail, and forelock until there are no more knots. She sighs at the hard work(She ONLY CLIPS ONCE A YEAR, AND HOSES DOWN ONLY IF REALLY MUDDY AND ONCE A MONTH FOR A BATH.)*

*She then dumps out the water from yesterday and puts new water, mucks out the stall, and fills the feed bucket with bran, sweet feed, pony nuts, and oil(molases and vitamins are once a month). She leads Brambles back in his stall, picks his hooves and lets him eat. When he was done she would take him to the paddock.*
