This worksheet is part of our Rider Medals program. This worksheet covers Level 1: Horsemanship I grooming and care skills. It has an accompanying lesson plan to take the guesswork out of teaching this lesson so you can easily provide these worksheets at the end of the lesson. It’s split into three different parts, each of them with pictures to color:

1. Identify a dandy brush, soft brush, curry comb, and hair brush
2. Put the steps of grooming in the proper order
3. Write about why it’s important to groom a horse
4. Bonus: asks the rider to color the last picture to look like the horse they rode in their last lesson

This worksheet pairs well with our grooming journal and our parts of the horse word search.
