Being lazy I have taught my horses to be bathed
when they are very hot. In the Midwest it was easy. Just wait for a
90 degree day with a 70 degree dew point, get the horse nice and hot. Then
starting with legs spray him/her. About two treatments and they associate
bathing with pleasure.
In my previous house, I ran a hot water line
outside so I could bathe horses with warm water. It does really make a
difference. In my present house I want to do it, but it means spending a
day in a crawl space. (actually more of a slither space, it reminds me of the
escape tunnel in the movie Stalag 17.) Not a fun place to
work.
