YOU gave in and, no foul or harm Jenn! I have "horse-elbow" from the brushing of the sticking mudd we have.

I'd never thought to use it anywhere other than the manes and tails! <br /><br />Leah...when I managed a barn in Florida it was very, very, very sandy. All the horses got dosed with psyllium (usually generic metamucil) weekly to keep things clear. We also had to do the "sand test" on each horse's manure weekly. Talk about a nasty chore!

It's such an inexpensive routine that can potentially save a LOT of money down the line.<br /><br />And I hope you didn't put money on my going back out in the weather to blanket Poco, because I didn't. I knew he'd be fine in the man cave. He was more than willing to have me blanket him yesterday when I got home. The wind was bitter and he practically jumped inside that blanket.<br /><br />C'mon, Spring!Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-50770255194450431192010-01-29T16:06:11.851-06:002010-01-29T16:06:11.851-06:00Yuk!

I have had horses in GA Red Clay - just as bad as what you are describing! Plus, little grey ponies = little red ponies in that crap! I have had luck spraying some Mane 'N Tail conditioner (it comes in a spray bottle) - doesn't do much once they are already dirty, but does help keep the mud from "clotting and sticking" so bad.Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820494458669251616noreply@blogger.com
