Don't know about Stevenage but I contacted a heavy horse breeder/trainer in Scotland I think (via the web) and he send some to me. The Pig Oil can be bought through agricultural merchants, country shops etc. It needs to be used sparingly I find or the skin goes rather sore looking.

If any of these CWG stores are near you they do sulphur and pig oil:

Bury St Edmunds
Colchester
Darley Dale
Dereham
Fauld
Market Rasen
Melton Mowbray
Newark
Stamford
Towcester
Worksop

i know what flowers of sulphur is but what on earth is pig-oil? Somewhat reluctant to ask all-knowing friend in case it gives her the chance to launch into a great lecture.

Please will some kind person enlighten me!

it's a just a thick mineral oil (similar to baby oil, but thicker). You could use liquid paraffin instead if you can't find pig oil.

I have just ordered 10 litres of oil - £24 and 3ks of sulphur - £10 from Heavy Horse Supplies -

or call Tom Brewster on 07889 060495

With postage this comes to £45 but is still cheaper than a lot of places I have found in Essex and Herts, plus I don't have to drive miles to get it.

That amount is perfect for feathers and a bit extra oil for the mane and tail.

how is it applied? and how much should be put on? Do you mix the oil and sulphur together or are they put on seperately?

sorry Im a dufus, Ive never used it before
