Your horse’s sport boots can be challenging to clean. Here’s a great tip for doing so, in six steps.

Step 1: Take your sport boots to the car wash and hang them from the clips on the walls—the clips that hold car floorboard mats.

Step 2: Use the rinse option. (Using the soap option might result in skin irritation for your horse.)

Step 3 (Optional): If you have soap that’s safe for your horse’s skin, add a small drop to each boot.

Step 4: Stand back and spray your boots.

Step 5: Flip your boots around and spray the other side. You may have to repeat this step a few times until the water runs clear and free of dirt and soap from both sides of your boots.

Step 6 (Optional): Take them to the vacuum area of the carwash and vacuum them dry.
