gosh sorry no idea, i just use baby oil,but would also be interested in a mix as was thinking to water it down some how for various reasons.

The best coat shiner i find is beeswax polish but make sure it is beeswax it works every time just spray some on to a cloth the wipe on to horse.

Would it not be difficult to get the oil and water to mix?

I'd love to know a cheaper way of getting a shine, am fed up with buying canter coat shine as i do tend to over use it!

yeh baby oil with water is purfect doesnt half shine and lasts for quite a few days just forgot the recipe

I know a really old fashioned remedy which I've used for many years - "Elbow Grease". And it's free! Might give you arm ache though!

Best way to get a good coat with lots of shine is to feed well! Good food, linseed chips and codliver oil and as Racehorse states.......elbow grease, priceless

 

[Josh_craney]

yeh i agree but its manly for the mane and tale as a detangler and coat conditioner

Elbow grease then baby oil.

I find that if you have a greasey coat then put baby oil on it lifts the grease and looks awful. I tend to brush the coat. Then highlight knees, hocks, eyes, nose, anything else depending on the pony, class & markings, with baby oil on a cloth. Then run the cloth over the coat. That way you get some of the baby oil from the cloth onto the coat, without soaking it or making it look greasey.
