Preparation is a key element to a gleaming coat, mane and tail on show day. For the horse, the overall coat condition is one of the key factors judges look at when observing the horse, as well as many other points of course. A shiny horse, also indicates a healthy horse and with a flowing mane and tail, you’ll both be turning heads for all the right reasons.
We don’t want greasy patches, caused by last minute product application, so by preparing the horse’s coat well before the show you’re sure to outshine the rest on the day itself. A last minute shampoo the day before the show won’t earn you enough marks where it’s needed most.
Products can be used long before the night before to enhance the coat, mane and tail condition. Here we’ve rounded up a few items that we believe will help make show preparation a breeze for you and your horse.
