Getting white tails clean - what's the best way?

[FinellaGlen]

I have just bought my first ever horse with a white mane and tail and I wondered what's the best way to get her tail clean?

A shampoo called Quiksilver is fantastic.

We used to use washing up liquid on Trigger's (12.2h Welshie) tale with a a very good rinse afterwards. It prob wasn't a v good idea but did get the stains out.

I find that cheap baby shampoo is a lot better than some of the expensive equine shampoos.

It's not a great photo, but it shows how clean I got his tail after two decent washes with baby shampoo (I did two washes as his tail was very grubby!).

Thanks all. Castlemouse - that is one clean tail! I would be v happy with a result like that.
