Ultimate Equestrian Spring Cleaning List

If you are in self-isolation or spending less time at the barn because of COVID-19, this list should help keep your mind off of it and get you and your horse ready for spring.

Tack

  1. Clean and condition tack thoroughly.
  2. Inspect for cracks and stretching and have any damage repaired. Replace tack as needed.
  3. Check your saddle’s fit or plan to have a saddle fitter come out when possible. 

Grooming kit

  1. Disinfect your brushes, especially your hoof pick, and brush box.
  2. Go through your horse products and throw out the very old/expired ones. 

Blankets

  1. Fix and wash your horse’s winter blankets.
  2. Pull out your rain sheets and inspect them for tears. Waterproof as needed.

Clothing

  1. Go through your riding clothes to see if they still fit or need to be replaced. 
  2. Clean your winter boots and prep them to put them away. Take your summer boots out and inspect them. 
  3. Check your helmet’s expiry or manufacture date. They should be replaced every 5 years or after a fall.

I hope this helps during this trying time. Let me know how far you get down the list.
