How to Make Your Horse's Coat Shine

covered with either a light sheet in cooler climates or a mesh fly sheet in warmer areas to prevent sun damage. I suggest you spray him daily with an equine moisturizing product that contains a sunscreen. Avoid using any silicone based shine sprays on your horses coat. These are acceptable for occasional use at shows but are not recommended for daily use as they actually seal the hair follicle and prevent it from absorbing moisture. Keep soapy baths to a minimum no more than once per month or before shows as these needlessly strip oils from the coat. If your horse gets sweaty feel free to hose him off with clean water as this sweat can dull the coat as well but do not use shampoo or soap.
If you follow these simple instructions your horse should be shining like a champion in no time. You can bet at your next show competition or trail ride all eyes will be on your gorgeous lustrous horse and you will have everyone asking you how you managed to make him so beautiful! Good luck and happy riding!
