Easy out is AMAZING STUFF!! It is a purple spray and you litteraly spray on stain and wipe of with a cloth and stain comes out instantly on cloth. People down my yard swear by it . No more bathing and Stupid'O'clock in the morning!! Proof of this fab product on website... www.shinyshowhorse.co.uk (only Uk and EU suppliers of this stuff) Best stuff my friend has ever used on her messy grey show jumper!! Worth a try  x |

I use Wahl Diamond white £16.75 + VAT for 5 ltrs, lasts me about 12 months!! - I have two greys. and for manes and tales and legs if they are bad I use Sullivans stain buster which is dark blue, and you don't leave it on for longer than ten minutes, but boy does it work!! I get my supplies from Gerald Carter at Showtime - www.showtime-supplies.co.uk - anyone going to the Great Yorkshire he will have a stand there, usually at the end of the cattle lines near the cattle washing bays. He has shown top class dairy cattle, and has diversified into show supplies and he has good stuff. I will try to send a couple of photos of my ponies at shows!! |

I soak a small box of acdo in warm water, enough to soak in to the powder and make a paste over night. Wet pony and rub paste into coat , rub into stained areas with a brush. Make sure you rinse it all off, watch that coat glow white. A top producer give me this tip at peterbourgh becaus i asked how she got her horse so gleaming white ! you wont be dissapointed with the results.

The grey pony survival kit: Rugs/hoods - as many as you can lay your hands on. Amigo bug rugs are fab. They seem to keep most dirt off but do need washing often (but tumble dry in 10 minutes). Use lycra hoods under the bug rug with another rug on top (depending on temperature) the night before a show. This should drastically reduce the chance of stains! Cowboy Magic Stain remover - Buy 3. Keep 1 for home and 1 for the lorry and have 1 in your ringside basket. Follow the instructions. Its brilliant. Touch of silver shampoo (the type old ladies use) - This keeps light tails a lovely silvery shade...instead of a yellowy colour. Use at least twice a week in the showing season. Plenty of de tangler will repel the dirt. Also good on pony's body. Show sheen - This will not really make your grey shine BUT really helps repel dirt. Don't use under saddle area as this will also repel your jockey! Hope this helps!! Thats just propper made me giggle haha |

right help needed. I want to replace my blue shampoo which ran out last year (and i chucked the bottle) it was a clear bottle very deep purple/blue in colour and stained if you left it on more than 30 seconds and was stupidly expensive, its not any of the ones mentioned on here but thought someone might remember what it was!
