He has long barbwire scars that are old, dating to before I got him, and they are long and bumpy with no hair. Is there any way I can grow the hair back on them?Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023478753948431116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004597800120575437.post-76884440838427580032011-07-18T21:07:52.526-05:002011-07-18T21:07:52.526-05:00Wow!

It's like $15 for a tub that'll last you two years. A tiny bit does the whole horse. It's not itchy, doesn't dry skin, doesn't burn eyes, and makes their coats super silky. I've never seen anything make a white marking whiter or a gray horse sparkly-er, including whitening shampoo.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004597800120575437.post-77561254315546096822011-07-18T00:33:35.716-05:002011-07-18T00:33:35.716-05:00Sweet!

I have yet to try tying one around the halter, but it supposedly works. I know it works for repelling insects on me! Granted, Greta is a white horse and bugs almost have no interest in her as compared to the darker horses, so I might try it on poor Choco?Dressagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849960430806754249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004597800120575437.post-87665677447327760262011-07-17T22:46:17.350-05:002011-07-17T22:46:17.350-05:00Never thought of baling twine for scraping sweat!!...Never thought of baling twine for scraping sweat!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004597800120575437.post-37159710210484328702011-07-17T17:55:40.368-05:002011-07-17T17:55:40.368-05:00Plain old rubbing alcohol works as well as a linim...Plain old rubbing alcohol works as well as a liniment and rinsing after a bath with vinegar in the rinse water makes a shine better than Show Sheen and not slippery. One of the cheap leave in hair conditioners that creates shine works for the tail - you need something slippery for tangles after the vinegar.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571711150060964222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004597800120575437.post-51287276598516338002011-07-17T15:55:06.930-05:002011-07-17T15:55:06.930-05:00Hahahah I used Dawn liquid once when Cash had a ho...Hahahah I used Dawn liquid once when Cash had a horrible case of rain rot he got one week while I was on vacation. I drowned him in Shapleys, which is great on rain rot but OMG sooo oily. Dawn was the only thing that got all the oily goo off!<br /><br />One trick I use is a dryer sheet when grooming in the winter. Rub it all over their bodies and tails, and then you don't have to worry about zapping your poor horse with static electricity with each brush swipe.<br /><br />My new trimmer also told me to mix 1/2 triple antibiotic ointment with 1/2 Athlete's Foot creme, then spoon it into a 60 cc syringe (minus the needle). You can apply it to thrushy areas on the feet, or those deep cracks they get sometimes in the frog. Seems to work great so far!<br /><br />And for making a white horse, er, WHITE, I use a few drops of blueing in a half-bucket of water. Sponge on generously after bathing, wait 5 minutes, then rinse off. Volia, brilliantly white horse!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004597800120575437.post-18124529296605828432011-07-17T15:28:15.778-05:002011-07-17T15:28:15.778-05:00Hey I use all this stuff too!

It's a synthetic footing made up of felt/rubber/sand with a wax coating... which made it AMAZING, and completely horribly sticky and impossible to get off. Regular shampoo does NOT cut through wax! Ivory soap was the only thing that did the trick to get socks back from being a dingy, waxy grey to sparkling white again. I still use it on socks!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.com
