Non-Tranquilized Sheath & Mare Cleaning

Geldings and stallions need to be cleaned in order to eliminate accumulation of beans within the urethral fossa and head, flakiness on the shaft and smegma within the sheath, so that urinary function is not disrupted.

Mares not only need their teats cleaned, but equally important is to remove any developed accumulation("almonds") within their clitoral fossa.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • As a young and developing equestrian, I was always curious and was always in attendance at my horse’s appointments. I watched, questioned and learned. I have been cleaning my own horses since my teenage years. When I became a Trainer, I offered my services to my clients.

    $30 per mare

  • I accept Cash, ZELLE and Venmo.

    I do not accept checks.

    Approximately 15 minutes per mare.

  • I recommend that cleaning be performed every 6-12 months.

    Some individuals need cleaning more frequently.

    However, cleaning too frequently can disrupt the natural balance of the environment.

    I can clean up to 15-20 horses per day if driving between ranch locations and can clean up to 25-30 horses per day if all equine participants are at the same ranch.

  • At the beginning of each month I determine my travel schedule. Dates and locations vary. I provide equine cleaning services on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and some Sundays.

  • No. I do not offer group discounts.

Client Reviews

“ I have a gelding that was very difficult to clean even with large amounts of tranquilizer. 

Hallie had him relaxed and enjoying the entire process without any medication . She’s truly amazing with the horses .”

— Wendy Lee Thompson of Coastline Hunters and Jumpers

“I don’t typically write reviews, but I genuinely felt it was important to share this experience, especially for those in the equestrian community considering non sedated sheath cleaning. Truly talented horsewomen are hard to come by, and Hallie Eisenhauer is one of them.

I was very hesitant going into this. My gelding has historically been extremely reactive to sheath cleaning, to the point that he was unable to receive a complete cleaning even while sedated. Because of that history, I had real concerns about attempting a non sedated approach from both a safety and tolerance standpoint. I communicated all of this to Hallie ahead of time and appreciated that she took my concerns seriously.

The day of the appointment was cold and rainy with no turnout beforehand, so I expected him to be tight and reactive. Hallie arrived on time and approached the session in a methodical and professional manner. She prioritized relaxation and incremental desensitization, carefully reading his body language and adjusting her timing without ever rushing.

There were moments where he reacted, which is expected given how much he dislikes the procedure, but she managed them without escalating his stress response. What stood out most was her ability to regulate the entire environment, including me, in such a kind and positive way. She was highly attuned to energy shifts and kept the session calm and grounded.

Despite his history and prior inability to tolerate a full cleaning even under sedation, she was able to complete the procedure thoroughly while showing her findings and explaining what she was observing along the way.

For anyone considering non sedated sheath cleaning, especially with sensitive or reactive geldings, this was a very positive and professionally handled experience. Hallie’s patience, technical skill, and horsemanship truly set her apart!”
