Just wondering what is your go to product for cleaning a horse without water? Times like now when it's too cold for a bath but need to spot clean a little. I have a grey horse so we all now how they love to be the dirtiest in the pasture LOL and we have red mud So just wondering what is a good product that cleans good that won't break the bank.

I've tried several because I own a white horse! Hes always getting into something. I've found this one to be really effective... not drying and not making him so slick my saddle slips... plus it smells amazing. I like their coat spray and hoof oil too!

Does this have the power to do a full 16.1 hand WHITE horse? Just about his whole body is orange at this point and it's too chilly to bathe him. He rolls daily and has a thick teddy bear coat. It drives me nuts! Summer is fine bc it just brushes off, but this muddy mess is wreaking havoc on my OCD. I think I'd need a gallon of this stuff.

I'm not sure if it comes in a bigger size... I use it to spot clean him.. he almost always ends up with green stains in his mane and on his neck and back. I'm on a mission to grow his mane out so I like that this stuff isnt drying and then I use the coat spray after to brush it out. So far so good. It really doesnt take much to get the job done.. but I've never had to do the whole body lol!

I LOVE this stuff. My bay horse has white socks and it works great. Never done his whole body though, but it really doesnt take much so I'd imagine you could do it or at least come close with one bottle. Might order two just to be safe though, lol

You can just get a damp washcloth to wipe down the really nasty spots, or baby wipes work too. They're not gonna get them wet enough to hurt them in the cold & it dries quickly. really scrub the bad spits. Then use a spot cleaner like the one above. It'll last longer that way. You can also vaccuum the horse first, I just run my shopvac over them once a week. Gets the loose dirt & the blanket dandruff off pretty well
