He looks either very big or is stood on a hill with a low fence behind.

He looks a lovely stamp of a horse.

Orvus paste shampoo is the go to for the Connie and ID showing crowd here in the home land. Congrats on your purchase, he's lovely.

He is very large!

Well we are all entitled to change our wardrobe colours from day to day - maybe not just the grey palate though??

I've had one of these for Christmas. Do you think it will help?

 

[Auslander]

I've bought him a Mudrug for Christmas! At least only his face and legs will be uncovered!

Best thing I can recommend is Touch of Silver shampoo for ladies with grey hair - makes their coats really silvery and pretty. For stain removing? Fairy liquid for bathing and Cowboy Magic spot stain remover.

But mine lives most of her life as the skewbald she wishes she was, and only gets cleaned when necessary.

After:

Cowboy Magic Shine in Yellow Out. Tailgater tail bags. Cut a bridle path to save at least the top part of the mane. Snuggly Hoods.

From decades of grey ID hunters. ..
NAF Tea tree shampoo (the pink stuff) for removing grubbiness
Horse Health Diamond White shampoo for whiteness
Snuggy Hoods
And don't let his tail get stained - keep it clean enough otherwise you'll be stuffed.

The Great White has turned out to be an absolute gem. Such a lovely person, with a cheeky personality that took a while to come out, but now makes us snigger on a daily basis.
Currently dealing with a grumbling abscess, which I think is nearly done, so looking forward to some summer fun with him.
Clipped him out with him loose in the stable, let the hog grow out, and have been forced to eat my words about him not being handsome!
Love him to bits!

As you might hear said in Ireland (and definitely meant in a complimentary way) - he's a fine lump of a horse !

His breeding puts him in the Royalty class of ID breeding, for both performance and temperament.

My ID boy only gave me white socks to deal with, thankfully, but the best thing I found to bring them up sparkly was Swarfega which is great at greasy dirt removal and also safe on skin. Probably no practical for an all over body wash though

Like mine, yours looks always keen to help around the yard, opening doors, picking up sweeping brushes etc. Wishing you many years of enjoyment with him.

He’s lovely he’s a slightly heavier version of my horse Sky who is ID .
They are very cheeky horses we laugh a Sky every single day .

I've developed a bit of an obsession. His tail came out of winter a disgusting shade of yellowy orangey brown, so I've spent the last week trying all sorts of things to get it white again

Today I tried something new. Provoke Go Ashy, which is basically Touch of Silver, but with black and blue pigment as well as purple. Absolute game changer!


I have discovered that he's got a lot of black and chestnut hair in his tail, so I think this is as good as its going to get

I love a bit of Touch of Silver so I’ll keep this rec in my back pocket, thanks! Mine is in full manky tail mode at the moment

I just heard back from his breeder, with a baby photo. He remembers him very well, as he was out of a mare that was very special to him.
His half brother, Cloonan Hector, is a very prolific winner in the show ring, and the absolute spitting image of him
