Four on the Floor is thinking of offering a bathing service for horses. They are in the process of purchasing a machine that makes it easier to wash small and large animals. It's great for cooler weather because it sucks the remainder of the water off the animal. With most of the water removed drying time is cut in half. It uses a special shampoo that doesn't require a rinse. The shampoo also helps eliminate fungus and bacteria. Let them know if you are interested.
