seriously stable stained horse..... HELP!! (also in CR)

[spacefaer]

Got a grey horse with very stable stained brown knees and fetlocks........ none of the standard whitening/brightening shampoos are working...

does anyone have any tried and tested miracle cleaning techniques?

It is coming off very very slowly with bathing him every day, but I'm getting fed up of the brown knee look lol!!

Have you tried making a paste with chalk powder and brushing that into the stains?

Okay I have a FILTHY grey so I know what you are going through!
I have tried so many shampoos/products/sprays/tricks it's unreal but here are a few things that have really helped me;

I know you said you've tried loads of shampoo's but have you tried Cowboy Magic? When someone first mentioned it to me I just thought oh great here we go again another one that won't work but it is the best thing for stains ever so I always have bottle handy! I use the Cowboy Magic Shine-In, Yellow-Out one which is simply brilliant.

The best sponge to use in co-junction with the shampoo is one of those standard 'pouf' sponges (google image search - pouf sponge if you don't know what I mean! But they really work in getting stains out, rather than your standard sponge/cloth and they're only about 99p from a supermarket.

Another tip I have used is white vinegar which can help to initially shift a really stubborn stain that's been sitting there for a good while.

Hope some of this helps! x

Is he on straw by any chance? Changing bedding to something more absorbent helps a lot. My grey is now on wood pellets and the embarrassing stains issue has almost completely gone now. More time to ride!!!

Have you tried baby wipes? cheap nasty ones. I have no idea what they put in them but the seem to work or at least help a lot even when nothing else does.

I have a grey and Cowboy Magic is indeed magic! I sponge it on with warm water and it gets it out - like magic...
