What about a vat of brown dye...

Or IV horse do a dry shampoo which is supposed to be quite good:

I've had good results with recent (not ground in) stains with the Waterless shampoo in a black bottle - the name escapes me at the moment but! Spray small amount onto a small dry sponge and scrub at the stain - do NOT wet the sponge or the stain otherwise you'll just spread it! I speak from experience (see Canter/Red Rum Whitener thread below!)

A groomers stone is excellent for removing stable stains without water, even ground in ones. You just have to brush out the dust after you use it but it works really well

Cowboy magic is great!

I would agree with Cowboy Magic .... but if recent stained then pure water nothing else.... if your horse is not shampooed and they have there natural oils it will wash off .... learned that from Portugal in training yard full of greys... and only wash in hair direction.

for fried on stains i use gallop coat whitener , spray onto a damp sponge & wipe the stain in the direction of the hair growth

i have tried a couple of 'dry' shampoo's but they were still 'wet' & involved the use of a damp sponge/cloth

Cowboy Magic green spot stain remover, expensive but works. For the bottom of his tail, not dock, I use Tesco Bio detergent, probably not recommended but again, it works better than equine shampoos!

cow boy magic is the best thing ive used, i reakon the dog dry shampoos ect would do the same job at half the price.

i also use http://www.equineblue.com/

and you cant beat curtain whietners for manes and tails!

Cowboy magic or tiny spot of 'blue' shampoo on a squeezed out hot flannel, rinse flannel, squeeze out again and wipe soap out. Better on summer coats than winter and wonderful for green faces!
