Keeping your horse’s hair is great shape takes some time and effort, even if your horse is lucky to be born with silky, soft hair. Here are some important steps to follow when improving the condition of your horse’s hair:
1. Keep your horse’s mane and tail hair skin clean and exfoliated. Using a scrub helps to remove dead skin cells and helps to stimulate hair growth. A great scrub to use on your horse is the Big and Sexy Tail Scrub for Horses. This cleansing scrub is ideal for removing dead skin and generating hair growth.
2. Shampoo the mane and tail hair once a month or as needed. As soon as the mane and tail hair becomes dirty and dingy, it is time for a shampoo. Keeping the mane and tail hair clean, greatly approves the appearance. Mane ‘n Tail Equine Shampoo is great for cleansing both the skin and hair.
3. After cleaning the skin and hair, apply a conditioner to the mane and tail hair. Applying conditioner is critical for making the hair soft and silky. It also makes brushing much easier. Some conditioners need time to absorb into the hair, so be sure to read the label to see how much time the conditioner needs to set before rinsing it away. Rinse the mane and tail hair thoroughly to avoid over-conditioning and leaving a residue on the hair.
4. Brush your horse�s mane and tail hair gently after a bath or a ride to keep it tangle free. Use a brush made especially for the mane and tail hair, such as the Equestria Sport Mane and Tail Brush. This type of brush will not break the hair stands or pull out hair.
5. Braid or bag the tail hair to keep it clean and free of tangles. A loose braid is great for keeping the tail hair neat and clean. Undo the braid every few days to prevent hair from falling out. Bagging the tail hair also protects it from dirt and tangles. Both of this tricks help to encourage hair growth.
