Don't do it where the neighbors might see you.

i work for a vet & i have to clean sheaths A LOT ! you dont have to use gloves if you dont want to, i find its easier without. just get a bucket of warm water & mix some dish soap in. sometimes i will wipe around up their with damp paper towels too...you also have to make sure to get the bean, it will be a different color, usually grey. if you dont know what that is look it up online ! also if your horse is bad you can drug them or just clean down there when they get their teeth done
