Best coat conditioning spray/ways to keep a shiny coat?

[appaloosacaz]

Hey,

Was just wondering what people considered to be the best coat conditioner? (preferably not resulting in extortionate spending) and also any other ways you keep your horses coat shiny and looking good?

A good diet and properly functioning gut will do more for your horses coat than anything you spray on it

I was feeding vegetable oil for weight gain and its given her a lovely silky coat. Just a slug daily in her feed.

He's already got quite a nice shiny coat, I've recently actually taken him off feed (apart from a scoop of chaff and a general supplement) Just looking for more ways to further enhance it , I was thinking of vegetable oil, I know so many people who have always fed there horses vegetable oil, got a bit scared though after reading rubbish online about it, might just suck it in an start giving him some

Brewers yeast/probiotics or linseed both seem to add shine!

Other than that I got some of the green 'no more tangles' baby shampoo, its amazing! Really good for shine and great for mane and tail, smells nice, and cheap!

mandwhy, did you use just the shampoo or shampoo and conditioner??

Just the shampoo on the body, but I use conditioner (any old human one will do) on her mane and tail as it there is a lot of hair to detangle
