You can do as I do, which is to buy equine blue and then add it to rinse water, conditioner, shampoo as you wish.

I have found this the best so far, but the champion tails stuff is also very good.

For tails put them up to the dock - but not the dock in a bucket of the stuff with very hot water and leave to soak for 5 minutes - don't worry if you have a blue tail - them shampoo and condition and if required, give another rinse with less equine blue in the water.

I sponge Chancer with a little in warm water as a finishing touch to his bath to bring up his white area and it also brings out the rich bay in his brown areas.

Supreme make the blue shampoo and a blue rinse concentrate- guaranteed to turn any yellow horse into a persil white!

Ive just been looking at Supremes Blue rinse, looks very good. Have you used it yourself? I didnt want to buy it without knowing that it works as ive spent sooo much on whiteners/stain removers that dont work at all on her!
 
Feathers

Wash two or three times using plenty of hot water and fairy washing up liquid - really use a lot to remove the grease build up but spend ages rinsing.

Then take a packet of grannies soap flakes from Tescos use at least half the packet into boiling water and mix well with some equine blue. Add cold water until hand hot.

Scrub away - really getting to the root of the feather.

Rinse.

Sponge the feather with some water and equine blue - particularly the yellow areas if left.

Then get some equimins whitener or similar. What I like to do is to rub it into the wet feather and comb through.

Leave to try and comb out.

When you get to the show, remove leg wraps and if necessary add talc and comb through or get some supreme white spray and apply to anything not white.

By that stage you will be (a) exhausted and (b) hopefully proud of your white fluffy legs.

If you have a really steady horse you can sit on a stool which really helps.

Before - covered in pig oil and mud

You are a god send, especially as you know how much these hairys need looking after!!
Im looking at the EquineBlue website, just now torn between their product and the Supremes rinse. Although EquineBlue have alot more information on how to use the product correctly without dying your horse blue!

So which should I get EquineBlue or Supreme?
 
honestly my coloureds are mUD MONSTERS!
they come in black, green, dun, and yellow sometimes all at once and everytime the shampoo + rinse make the come out whiter than white!!
 
Personally I like to use the tresume deep clean shampoo with equine blue mixed in if he is looking yellow in his coat.

I like the equine blue as I can mix up to the strength I want in the product I want. I think it is a bit cheaper and it really is very strong - so beware. Don't worry if you have a blue horse - just shampoo and it comes out.

The champion tails stain remover - silver does give a wonderful finish and again you can add it to water etc but you get a purple pony rather than a blue pony.

The one supreme product I could not live without is the sparkle - sprayed onto the mane and tails it gives a wonderful shine - my finishing touch.
 
I use it. Well, its that little bottle of purple stuff (rather than blue), called silver something......

I wash my grey horses tail with normal shampoo (usually Tesco's own!), rinse, ring it out and then massage this purple stuff in, especially round the bottom of the tail bone which is usually where its at its yellowist! Then I leave it for 10 mins or so as I wash the rest of him, then rinse. Definately makes it a hell of a lot whiter. I personally havent used it on his body because I think its quite harsh, and plus the bottle is only tiny and pricey!
