your horse's tangled mane.
Then wash it to bring out the natural beauty.
Step
1. Make a detangling spray by diluting
Tail & Mane Conditioner
with water and work it in with your hands.
Step
2. Find a section that has become
entwined. Usually two sections twist and roll inward to form
a spiral. Once you find the pattern untangle it.
Step
3. Start fingering through the mane.
Take your time and work out any twists, knots and tangles. Spray
Equine-Shine to detangle stubborn knots and tangles.
Step
4. Work with a brush and when you
feel resistance, stop. It might be a burr or other plant material
that needs to be removed.
Step
5. Brush the mane several times,
then use a comb. Wash with Equine Shampoo and Tail
& Mane Conditioner. The mane will be less likely to hold
knots and burrs.
