For excellent coat condition and shine feed your horse 1/2 cup of rice bran

daily. If you're looking for more energy for your horse then feed 1 full

cup.

 

 

rub baby oil through mane and tail before shows or during grooming to detangle and provide a sparkling shine! I like to add a mane clip to my mares mane!Pretty

 

For a smelly stall, just sprinkle baking soda liberally around wet areas. It works great !

 

Mane & Tail Detangler

Calgon Bath Oil Beads (dry)

Water

Mix the Calgon with water (one part Calgon to three parts water). Store in a spray bottle. It will help recondition your horse’s mane and tail. It also works well on knots. Apply liberally and work the knot out with a comb or stiff brush.

Horse Tips

When our horses have hair loss from scrapes or scaring, I put liquid vitamin E on it. You will notice that the hair grows back more quickly and scars will disappear! You can find liquid vitamin E in the Wal-Mart vitamin section.



Use petroleum jelly and a paintbrush for cracked or dry hoofs.


Micotin fungus foot cream works great on rain rot or if a horse has a fungus on his tail


In the spring we feed corn oil to our horses in there grain...gives them a nice shiney coat and nice weight

Homemade Show Sheen Recipe

1/4 (one quarter) cup hair conditioner

1/4 (one quarter) cup baby oil

2 tablespoons vinegar (to keep flies away, this is optional)

1/4 (one quarter) cup water




to save on your electric bill, you should insulate your water trough. The easiest way to do this is to use a chest freezer that no longer works. I cut a hole in the lid and keep the heater in it. The freezer is well insulated and free.
