Keeping her shiny and her blackness black

BarrelRaceQH · 08-09-2004, 07:03 AM

I have a Really Dark Bay horse she is black all over with her flank and by her withers is brown, I used Cowboy Magic on her it made her soft but not shiny, i used mane and tail it made her shiny but her coat rough, is there and thing out there that i can use to make her coat be soft and shiny at the same time. Like something they use to advertise the stallions how they make them so shiny and coats all nice looking.

We Feed her Alfalfa with grass when they are off pasture.

if you wash them w/ detergent w/ bleach there is a chemical that causes there skin oil to come ut, which is what makes them shinny.i also use Flax Seeds Oil in the feed

I don't feed mix either. My horse doesn't need it.

Do NOT put bleach on your horse! Try show sheen or laser sheen!

Flax works great for a shine..same with veg oil..also works great for creaky joints1lol..
Medallion makes a great colour enhancing coat conditioner, and shampoo, as well as a coat sun shield..its used on the blakc arab mare at our barn..keeps her nice and black!

it is not BLEACH it is detergent w/ bleach, and the detergent hardly has any bleach in it, if it did it would ruin your clothes. my vet uses it, track people use it, i have done it for years and never had a problem, no dry skin, no out breaks, nothing. i know it sounds crazy, but it works. NOT BLEACH detergent w/ bleach!!!!!
