i think what amanda means by white spots is like pale spots on the skin my stallion would get these on his muzzle and down his face at certain times of the year always wondered what caused it and feeding supplements ect never made any difference and he wouldn't get them every year, maybe its our grass quality. But last year he had a horselyx in with him all summer and he never developed them. I always thought it was some sort of mineral difficency.

heres a pic of him last may just after a quick bath(first of the year), no elbow grease brushing just a good balanced diet.

Chestnuts are just shiny happy people

Veg oil in feed
A dry fine sponge also brings out a shine

I have used a product called Diamond Omega, takes about 2 months to see the difference but the result is really good - my bay mare had a gloss to her coat like a mirror.

Obviously good old elbow grease, but basically diet is an important factor to a healthy glow, I supplement with micronised linseed all year round, I have sleek shinny horses in summer and chunky shinny teddies in winter!! Also you need to ensure copper and zinc are balanced in the diet or you will get white spotting in the coat,

I start feeding a product called "Colour Glow" about spring and all through the summer - it is loads of different herbs and spices and really does keep the coat colour from fading in the sunlight! especially useful on blacks and dark bay horses. Have tried on my grey as well and he had lovely silver highlights in his coat - sadly his mane needed the blue rinse shampoo treatment still.
alijo Posted - 17 Feb 2011 : 8:19:48 PM
thank you and he gets plenty of carrots but not enough sunshine with this awful weather :(
Mrs Vlacq Posted - 17 Feb 2011 : 8:16:12 PM
good diet (including carrots!) - elbow grease - sunshine would be helpful too!
He looks smashing - growing fast from when you first got him
alijo Posted - 17 Feb 2011 : 7:42:14 PM
might just try that sounds promising

Good old fashioned strapping with an old tea towel. I don't use any products or bath my horse. Legs and tail and mane washed and strap the rest with clean cloths works wonders.

alijo Posted - 17 Feb 2011 : 7:28:47 PM
awww wow she is well shiny
moatside Posted - 17 Feb 2011 : 7:25:08 PM
Good old fashioned elbow grease on this one - she has a pathological fear of water and anything that might resemble a spray and has not been bathed for years

Elbow grease!!!! There are no products to touch it!!!
