Location: Buried under a mountain of homework.... | Found a leave in conditioner at Wal-Mart for $3.97 a bottle, it is in a yellow bottle and is in the ethnic hair aisle... I *think* it is called Motions hair product, no comment on the name, but it is pretty phenomenal... I like it better than mane and tail because I don't notice the residue left behind. I did put some baby oil in it and shake it up. I put it in their manes and tails and love it because a week later when you go out to brush, it is not hard at all. I haven't had one tangle nor cockleburr in any of their manes or tails and we have a TON of them here...Keeps the static down to when brushing them...Also, it smells WONDERFULLLL! |

Location: Whitney, NE | Easy flyspray for horses OR people:
2 oz rose geranium essential oil, peppermint, lavender, or marigold essential oil, or a mixture as you like.
Mix into a spray bottle (12 oz or so) with vodka, everclear or some other HIGH alcohol content liquid. (Rubbing alcohol will work, but it is very drying to the skin.) The purpose of the alcohol is just to be a carrier for the Essential oil. Once sprayed on, the alcohol will evaporate, leaving the EE behind.
Spray onto person or horse as needed.

want your palomino to shine?.... baby shampoo and yellow original listerine. mix 2 parts shampoo 1 part listerine and wash your palomino, the gold will sparkle and the white will blind.
upset/sour horse tummy? think maybe you have ulcers? try a little bit of baking soda. (not for long term use and consult a vet if you think its ulcers)
need a liniment? rubbing alcohol
want to clean some silver on your tack? (if its not too tarnished) use a pencil eraser.
cleaning your leather tack? murphys oil soap - warm water - and scrub it (use an old toothbrush for tooling). dry - then apply neatsfoot oil to make it shine (will darken light leather)
your horse blanket filthy but hot water not cutting it? use baking soda
oops ran out of electrolytes - use some table salt to hold you over
fly spray- mix in spray bottle - 1 part acv - 1 part skin so soft - 1 part water and shake
detangler - i like the creamy baby oil from the dollar tree - or mix skin so soft and water.
fly spray- mix in spray bottle - 1 part acv - 1 part skin so soft - 1 part water and shake

Location: In the woods | I have found that Tea Clenz works great. My horses tend to lose the hair on their heads in the summer. They get this flaky stuff in it's place. I treat a couple of times with the stuff, then every so often after... never a problem. Also works for rain rot, takes 3 days to resolve then the hair grows back after. I'm now trying it out on the underside of my saddle pad and girth. I'm doing a quick spray after each use...we'll see if they get that funky smell (it's really hot and humid here). |

Jim Rickens Formula... get it at a feed store, or race horse supply, the stuff is awesome. Don't get any of it on the hairline, or your hands. If you do, use common rubbing alcohol immediately to remove the solution and the color. If you don't, it will lightly burn your skin. It does work wonders on thin, or sore soles. If you can't find Rickens, use plain old turpentine, if you can find that. Takes a little longer but still works, and still don't get it on any hair. |

Location: Kansas | For those greys, palominos, cremellos and sorrels......if you want white mane and tails I recommend this!
Goop or "gojo" the white type, basically the mechanic hand cleaner. Rub a couple globs into the mane and tail, let it sit for 10 minutes. Shampoo and condition it. Then rub coconut oil in it.
The tail will look whiter with each use. But make sure to use an oil afterwards, because it does strip the oils out of the horses tail. I love using coconut oil, and putting up in a tail bag. |

Anybody have anything for winter use on Rain rot? I am assuming that is what this is... Patches of about an inch with no hair left and a scaly, dry look to the skin...We have some fungicide and it works but takes days and it is a bit pricey...I tried Listerine to the sites watered down some and bathed them in it before it got cold...But just wanted something for spots. It is not ring worm.. Just thought I would add that, some are in lines not always circular patches...I think they rub on the fence or trees and cause these but not sure...
Farnims Blue Kote works great in the winter. Litle navy blue arisol can often with the cow suplys. Cheap and works great on any fungus, ringworm, rainrot, worts, ect. |

Location: Arkansas | Try Icthamol (Spelling?) Its a drawing salve and you will see a huge difference in just a few days... If your horse is extremely sore with soft soles, pack its feet generously and place large gauze pads on the bottom and secure with vet wrap. change every day for a few days and try to keep the horses feet dry, and possibly stall. If his soreness isnt severe, you can just put the salve on once or twice a day and turn out in regular pasture. Hope this helps! |

Since I get tired of posting the abcess cure, I thought a thread for home remedies that work was in order. I'll start:
Sidekicks Mom - 2009-04-16 5:59 PM This recipe needs to be a sticky because I get tired of posting it!
1 cup Ice Tight (or some other packing mud).
1/3 cup Iccathamol
1 TBS Epsom Salts
1 tsp Alum (pickling spice)
Mix in well ventilated area. Slap on bottem of foot. Put newborn baby diaper on and duct tape the crp out of it.
Change every 24 hours. The longest I have seen it take to work is 48 hours.
Why do you have to mix it in a well ventilated area? |

Location: Indiana | Horse Treats:
1 apple
several baby carrots
mollases
horse feed, oats, etc.
Just cut up the apple into bit size pieces and cut the carrots in half. Then get a container with a lid and put the apples, the carrots, some mollases, and some feed/oats in there. Then mix it all up really good with a spoon (or with your hands if you want to be very sticky and horse feedy). Then you can feed it with your hand like a regular treat (again you'll be sticky), or you can always keep the spoon in the container and when you want to feed it spoon some up onto the underside of the lid and hold it out to the horse, or just spoon some into his/her feed bucket.
