Its great as a mane/tail detangler, and also as a hoof conditioner.


Sorry cant help you with the white... thats why I buy horses with minimal markings.


I added a few more things to my original post after taking a peek at the actual kit... Im an airhead.

You put it in their tails/manes. It is AMAZING.

I am curious about using this coconut oil. First where would you get some?? Is it better than using stuff like show sheen or santa fe?? My mare has a really long mane and tail so it becomes tangled very easily and I am looking for something to condition it and keep it soft and a little more manageable.

The amazing benefits of coconut oil!

I use it, I know several other forum members do too. It's great.
