We'd vacuum them when they came in from turnout all dusty and dirty. If they came in muddy we'd let it dry and then vacuum them. The alternative was to put some serious elbow grease brushing the dirt out.
They sell special vacuums for this, we just used a cannister style with that attachment that I think is for upholstery.
Mine showed all year so they were usually clipped, but if not they would get a really thick winter coat that you would have to curry it off and use a shedding tool.
