| Feed through or application? I like Cowboy magic for application based. Little tiny bit goes a long way. FOr feed through rice bran or high fate feed is best choice. |

| Laser sheen and Premier Equine Rose Conditioner. What I love about the Rose conditioner is that it doesn't contain silicone and will not cause your tack to slip whatsoever. And it smells amazing! |

| A feed thru .. I've been using a product called radiance by horsetech. It's flax and chia .. noticed a huge difference in the horse I've been giving it to. |

But...a good diet helps too of course. |

Good alfalfa hay works for me. Shine like pennies!
and if you want more shine or to darken a palomino's coat color ... replace part of your feeding program with one pound of chopped or rolled corn per day ... and might as well add a pound of whole oats to really slick one off and it will balance out the calcium and phosphorous ratio needed for good bone growth when feeding alfalfa ... |

This guy comes inside at night and is blanketed as well - so that all helps.

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I curry to loosen any dirt/dander with a rubber curry, flick off with a soft brush, rub with a towel to bring out the oils, twice a day. UV sheet or stall during the daylight hours. This is with no show sheen type products as most are terrible for the hair. Eqyss makes the best horse care products out there, but they are pricey.

Location: Canada | Skin So Soft, Vinegar and Water. Probably 10% Vinegar, 10% SSS and 80% Water or depending on how big your bottle is. It's great for reconditioning dull coats and it's not slippery at all. Plus its really good as fly repellant as well
+ Hemp Seeds it helps with their coat and digestive system

| It comes from within! Flax seed and cocosoya oil and a good currying and brush will make one shine like a diamond. |

Location: London Ontario | Another thing to remember is to rinse all sweat off. As soon as it is warm enough to hose down, we do. Dried sweat will ruin your coat. I also agree with the grooming part. Its also a great time to bond as corny as that is!. I agree with flax as a feed through and either Vetrolin or Cowboy magic as a topical. |

| This was last spring, just after their coats shed out. No bath, just brushing, and no products applied. Good food, Nutrena SafeChoice Sr. feed with a small mix of 12% sweet feed and Alfalfa/grass mix. The second one is over the summer, no bath, just brushing.
