Pig Oil for manes

[flirtygerty]

Hi,
I've seen lot's of suggestions for using pig oil on manes, can you use pig oil and sulphur, or does it have to be pure pig oil?
Also, using sawdust for cleaning feathers, how does that work?

I use pig oil with a touch of sulphur for feathers, manes and tails. It helps growth, and stops midges and feather mites. Shy's mane is now down past his shoulder !

Never used sawdust, just the pig oil. x

But beware, too much oil & it ends up on your reins......
My Welshy is a bit strong on occasion & I found out the hard way that oil & reins are a bad mix!

I would tend toward plain pig oil for manes otherwise you'll get sulphur on your tack which probably would not be a good idea. My lad is hogged so I don't have that problem; but I use plain pig oil on his tail to stop the dreadlocks and oil & sulphur on his feet for mud fever and to keep clean.
