Do horses need a shower after riding? Yes, they do. Hosing down a horse after a workout helps cool them down and cleans off sweat and dirt.
True passion is knowing what a horse needs after a ride. A rider gives her horse a refreshing shower after a lesson on a hot day.

About Behind the Scenes: Care & Equipment
Most people just see the saddle, but our work happens before you even arrive. At Legacy, we maintain every piece of leather and metal daily. Whether it is oiling the bridles to keep the leather soft or having a professional farrier visit to check hooves, we handle the details so you can focus entirely on your ride.
The tack room is the heart of our school. You will find a collection of English and Western saddles, each checked for safety and fit. Proper tack maintenance is mandatory here. Leather dries out and cracks if it is not cleaned, which creates a safety risk for both the rider and the horse. Our team oils the bridles, checks the stitching, and ensures every bit is clean before it goes on a horse.
A horse is only as good as its hooves. Regular shoeing and trimming by a professional farrier happen on a strict schedule. This prevents lameness and ensures our Marwari and Kathiyawadi partners can perform at their best during lessons and trail rides.
After a long session in the Bengaluru heat, our horses receive a wash. This cools them down, cleans away sweat and dust, and keeps their coat healthy. We treat them as athletes and as family. When you book a session here, you are riding on equipment that has been maintained with discipline.
