Veteran Posts: 125	So I have a dark bay OTTB and she has a really crappy tail. I love her coat but it is not very shiny. Is there any shampoos that you would recommend for a bay? Also, what conditioners do you use for soft hair and a really nice tail? TIA!

Also, when "brushing" the tail out, use your fingers to gently seperate. Prevents breakage. :) WD 40 gets knots out pretty good as well.

I use a lot of coconut oil on manes/tails so that helps keep breakage down and helps them grow faster. BioMane also works pretty well for hair & coat as well. I have 2 that are getting half the BioMane dose and doing well on it. I have to clip their bridle paths more often

Elite Veteran Posts: 883 Location: Southern Indiana	I’ve actually found the mane n tail shampoo and conditioner and the detangler spray work awesome! They make their hair shiny and soft. I very rarely wash their body but I did last year with this stuff and also gave my bf’s horse a bath (she’d probably never saw shampoo before lol) and I was amazed at the difference. You may also try feeding some flax for her coat.

My Heart Be Happy Posts: 9159 Location: Arkansas	Cowboy Magic Rosewater Conditioner is totally amazing for mane and tails. Two of our boys literally had knots in their tails--Sean had his pocket knife in hand for his horse when I stopped him and coated both their tails with the conditioner. Left it on overnight and next afternoon I just used my fingers and combed thru their tails. I was way impressed!!

I have 2 that are getting half the BioMane dose and doing well on it. I have to clip their bridle paths more often I’m glad someone else besides me still believes in Orvus. Cleans everything from white horses to black horses and everything in between. I wash the mane and tail then conditon them with what ever is on sale at the dollar store. But I do think Vo5 is better just because it’s thicker. While I’m letting the conditioner soak in I’ll go back and wash their body. And rinse it all together. I use an olive oil spray that I get from Dollar Tree for a quick detangle. I spray it in and let it soak in then pick knots out with my fingers before I try to comb.
