home made mane and tail conditioner???

[kateknights]

Having a Traditional cob, with lots of feathers and a lovely long thick mane and tail, i really get through the mane and tail conditioner, especially this time of year! and at £7 a time it gets quite expensive!
I read on here somewhere last week about home made stuff, can anyone remember the ingredients. I thought it was 1 part hair conditioner(ours), one part baby oil and one part water? Does this sound right?

I do the conditioner/baby oil one, and I put a slosh of cheap (supermarket's own) conditioner, a squirt of baby oil and fill up with water. I shake well before using, and I find it works fine. I think if you made it too rich, it would be sticky, so one part of each would be too thick.

Furniture polish for me too! And you can choose a variety of smells!

i use a dog detangle spray from Groomers. The Intense groom and detangle spray. it costs £32 for 5 litres and lasts ages. It smells like funiture polish. I buy it by the bucket load for my dog grooming business so a little bottle here and there for pony is nothing. but its good stuff!

Ditto the furniture polish. It is used at work for all the racers, hunters and the couple of show horses we have. Get it cheap for about 10p a can and it works a treat! We do make sure it doesn't touch the skin though.

Mr Sheen shines umpteen things clean (including manes and tails) is silicone based as are most conditioners and works a treat

We use a mixture of equal parts water, baby oil and listerine! The listerine helps if they're itchy...

I use plain baby oil on my horses tail, and sometimes (but not often) on the mane. I trim my horses feathers. But to be honest I use baby shampoo and baby talcuum powder for her legs when im givin her a bath.

I get a bucket of hot water and good squirt of baby oil, dunk in the tail, it cleans all the mud off and repels future mud, looks lovely , soft and shiny and if they are in at night, shavings and straw dont stick to the wet tail either!!
