Hello readers!
Today I'm going to give random grooming tips. Hope these come in handy!
-To get poop and grass stains out, use unscented baby wipes. Scrub the wipe on the stain until the stain disappears. Throw away the wipe. I like to use baby wipes because they are gentle, and the stain doesn't trickle down the body in a fluid form since it gets absorbed into the wipe.
-Once a week, spray non-silicone based coat conditioner on your horse's body (Eqyss is good). It gives the coat a nice shine/smell and repels dirt and dust for the rest of the week.
-Also once a week, spray silicone based coat conditioner thoroughly in the mane and tail and brush it in (Show Sheen is good). It gives a long lasting shine, prevents tangles, keeps burrs from getting caught in the tail, and spreads fragrance when the tail swishes.
-Don't brush the tail every day! It will pull out too many hairs.
-To remove sweat stains, curry your horse while rinsing after a ride, or use miracle groom or Cowboy Magic.
- Once a week in the summer, every other week in the winter, apply hoof conditioner. It gives a nice shine and prevents cracking.
-If your horse has a wild mane you would like to tame, use quic braid.
-Spray fly spray on the brushes often.
-Keep the brushes really clean.
-For a healthy coat, add a pinch of flax to your horse's grain.
These are all I can think of now. I will have more in the future.
Thanks for reading!

Those are handy tips. If I had a horse I'd follow them.

ReplyDeleteDuring shedding season use a shedding blade first to get all the loose hairs out.
During the winter NEVER try brushing or currying off wet mud.
