Advice for more shine!

[Suzannebart]

It's not that my horse Bart isn't shiny, opposite in fact, he is always getting compliments for how bright n shiny he is! He is a bright ginger chestnut, and has gained some nice dappling since coming into my care. He was quite an under weight and unhappy ex-racer before his new life. I was just wondering what everyone's tips and tricks for getting their horses to glow is? Currently Bart gets:

- Veg Oil in his feed.
- Pink Powder n Garlic
- Good haylage n worming schedule
- Plenty of exercise and some hand grazing each day
- Quick flick/wipe over at morning rug change.
- Full groom at night(Curry, dandy, wisped and then body brushed)
- Every other day(or when he sweats) he gets hot clothed with own brand Dettol or tea tree oil/coat conditioner or vinegar (One day we had a vinegar/Dettol mix and a quick misting of the tea tree/conditioner mix and a good going over with a microfibre cloth and he sparkled I think this will be our pre-show prep)

Anyone, esp. showing people got any more hints or tips? Might try some RoR classes in the new year and would love to have him glowing!

Thanks
Suzanne

I use a supplement called lumin8, I'm not normally a supplement fan, normally think there all a waste of money but its a locally made product and the company contacted me about becoming and dropped some off free for us to try on the yard, I am not well and truly converted, LOVE the stuff, the horses are shiny and silky soft even after clipping, my black one normally looks so dull when clipped but even he's glossy, can't reccomended it enough. They have a website and if you can't find it locally give me a pm and I can get you some
