Jesse led Bonnie down the aisle of stalls in the White Oak barn as they just their little practice session in one of the Academy's arenas. As they walked past the stalls, he kept a watch on the happenings at the barn, remembering how he was promoted to being head barn hand of White Oak barn. So far, so good, hoping that it stays that wasy during the time being. Still being honored and a great pleasure to work in the position he was at now.
He continued down to the grooming stalls and went on untacking the mare. Taking off the saddle and pad, he realized all the dust and dirt on the on the mare, more than just a brush could take off. As he took the bit and bridle away from the horse, he petted the mare. "Why don't we take a nice cool wash down at the wash racks today, huh girl?" He spoke to the Warmblood x Thoroughbred as he went to put the tack away in the tack room before they headed off. Grabbing the black halter and matching lead rope, he slipped the halter over the mare's head and clipped on the lead rope. Untying the crossties, he looked at the horse as Bonnie gave him a tired and bored look. He gave a grin, knowing her short attention span, he made a cliking sound with his tongue and pushed her forward into moving as he led her down to the wash racks.
Arriving at their destination, he looked around at a few open rack to use. Leading his horse to one of the wash racks, he tied the mare to the bar and patted her shoulder to stay here as he went to get a wash bucket and grooming supplies for their wash. When he returned, he started to fill the bucket up with lukewarm water and a shampoo to wash up the horse and mixed up the contents in the bucket, which eventually turned into any regular kind of soapy water. Soon satisfied, he checked the temperature of the water, making sure it was lukewarm. Placing the bucket at the edge of the rack, where it was accessible when he got started, he went on to begin hosing the horse down. He grabbed the hose, turning to lukewarm as well, and started slowly rinsing the mare off. Working with the animal's feet and upwards, slowly and gently until He finishes by wetting the back.
