Horse Grooming 101
Grooming your horse can be one of the most satisfying parts of horse ownership. This daily routine is not only a bonding time for you and your horse but also a good opportunity to check them over for minor injuries or irritations they may have acquired in their stall or out to pasture.

Background

The history of the Mastiff (also known as the English Mastiff or Old English Mastiff) is extensive. They are similar in size and build to dogs that were carved into figurines as far back as 6th century BC.  Although we can only speculate on the breeds of that time, we can be sure that Caesar fought against mastiffs in 55 BC when he invaded Britain. Apparently, the dogs were impressive in battle, showing both great loyalty and strength.
