Keeping my coloured clean after a bath

[willow001]

I dabbled with a little bit of in hand showing last year with my coloured. i seem to have got the knack of getting him sparkling white however my question is how do i keep him white for the next morning. I've tried keeping him out and turning him out, stable sheet with neck, leg wraps and turnout on top. By next morning he either has grass stains, mud or poo on every available part of his body that he can. Can anyone help with the bext thing to put on. Thanks

I keep my coloured in his stable over night with 2-3 rugs on, one of which is a LW turnout rug, and the bottom rug is always a clean fleece. He then has his snuggy hood on, fibre-gee pads on his legs with bandages on and his tail plaited.
This seems to work with him getting very little dirty, hope this helps :-)

Cheers. its his knees and hocks that end up filthy.

I always leave mine out if I can as mud/grass stains are easier to remove than stable stains. I tend to put a clean fleece rug on with a snuggy turnout hood and a turnout rug. The next morning I get a wet towel and scrub any stains off his legs, chalk them whilst wet (using chalk powder and apply it with a sponge - not a block) and then bandage. When I get to the show I take the bandages off, quick flick with a clean body brush (I keep a separate 'white' brush for chalk use) to get the excess off (they're dry by then) - and there you go....lovely white legs

Ive got 3 coloured riding ponies, i wash them with brite whites, chalk paste and bandage their legs up, they have hoods on also and a stable rug and if theres any stable stains i spray cowboy magic onto the stain before we load, its dry when we get there usually and then re-chalk!! Everyone always asks how we get them so white lol!! Pat them if you dare you will only get a ploom of white dust
