I've heard you can vacume your horse

Nope, but I've seen it done. It's very convenient, expecially in the winter when it's too cold to give baths.

Yes, I do. We use a Vac-n-Blo. It really helps in the winter when you can't give a bath, or at a show to get any dust off.

I've never used one, but if I had access to one I would! I've seen them used, and they work great, especially (like others said) in the winter!

stars of vegas, there are vaccumes made specifically for horses, they've got a suction tube type thing, with a brush lookin thing at the end, lol...i suck at explaining...

Yea I do!!! It is awesome!

You can also use a regular vaccuum.

I used a little handheld dirtdevil on my old mare once LOL

She was looking at me like I was crazy

I have not seen a horse being vacumned in a million years. We used to do it all the time. It was actually a vacumn FOR horses. It was a big old relic on wheels with a hose and a flat nozzel attachment. It was used so often that the horses at this barn did not blink an eye.

If I EVER put a vacumn on my TB he would run to the next state.....alone!

they actually make little equine vacs believe it not lol
they also suggest turning it on around the horse before actually using it

the equine vacs are also quieter so that the chances of your horses ******** out are slimmer???
but of course we are talking about an animal that is known to be terrified of the oh so dangers plastic bag
