All you coloured experts, help needed.
We have a new plaited non native project, with four very white legs! I have no problem getting them clean and white (elbow grease and scrubbing), it's keeping them clean the night before a show.
Any tips or tricks? Thinking for stable bandages, but that won't help hocks and knees?
Or do I just resign myself to scrubbing the night before and again in the morning?!

Hock boots, Dreamchaser equestrian make waterproof or fleece ones, she'd probably be able to make knee boots as well. Bandage right down over the top of the hoof as well to help keep clean.

We used Supreme leg whitener, there are other brands available though. Make up into a liquid and paint on the legs put a double coating on areas that are prone to get really dirty. You can put Gamgee and leg bandages on but let the liquid paste dry to avoid lines. Brush off well on the day off the show. Hock boots are good if the horse is used to wearing them. Another tip- put light hoof oil on the hooves before painting the legs. Any excess white that gets on the hooves will just wipe off |

Use a stretchy pair of leggings, or rather 2, something that should stay up but not restrict blood flow. Maybe socks with the toes cut off for the forelegs if not big
