In horse riding, grooming performed during the pre-ride preparation process is of great importance in terms of the horse's health, comfort, and bond with the rider. Grooming not only ensures the horse's cleanliness; it also plays an important role in hygiene by protecting skin health, supporting blood circulation, and helping to detect possible wounds or discomfort early on. Furthermore, the grooming process establishes strong communication, trust, and affection between the horse and rider, making the horse more compliant and obedient to the rider.

As part of the program, students contributed to the business by individually grooming each horse, while also developing their knowledge, skills, and confidence regarding horses.
