I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	We have a black mare with that kind of mane. We put her on Omni cubes and round bale of grass hay plus THE performance with ulcer prevent and joint and inflammation added and lo and behold her mane is not dry and tangled and it is a nice black color, no fading at all. I actually think it is a nutrition problem rather than a cosmetic one. My gelding is on Omni cubes and Cur-Ost Total and his mane and tail do not tangle and look like I take care of it like a show horse, but I don't. I love both these products.

The ends have turned red/orange and fried. Does that make sense?

Has the mane and tail always been this way?

She looks fantastic but the ends of her mane are so sad looking. Does she have a thick mane are just so so kinda on the thin side? Maybe a good deworming would help out some and have heard that uclers cause dry hair. Just throwing this out there. Edit cause I forgot a word.. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2015-11-24 11:50 AM

I'll try that she's due for an Equimax anyway. She's a grumpy mare but no real reason for the grumpiness I should try an ulcer treatment.
