Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil & Horses
 | |
| Smokey (he was over 16 hands) |
Waaaaay back in the 1970s I used to show him for his owners in Gaited Horse Shows. I believe this particular picture was taken at the old Mountain Grove MO arena after I took first place in my division. As many of you know, preparing horses for the show ring takes a lot of time. And it just isn't the day of the show. Healthy horses will shine more than unhealthy ! Anyway I have run across some web tips for using AVON products on horses to make them look their best.
1. Use the original Skin So Soft Bath Oil diluted with water (5 parts water, 1 part Skin So Soft) -- you can decrease the water till you find the best water to product ratio. This will vary based on the amount of humidity and dust in your area. It will keep the flies & mosquitoes off them but you don't want it to the point it is greasy on them.
2. Use this same product to comb through their mane and tail and it will help with combing out & will put a bit of shine on them after shampooing. . You can always play with the dilution ratio but you are wanting the softness without becoming greasy.
3. You can also use SSS on their hooves as a dressing & this will be a lot less drying to the hooves than other methods.
4. Try using the bug guard towelettes (item #269562) (8 towelettes) on the horses' faces. The towelettes do not have SPF (the active bug repellent ingredient is picardin) and wipe around their face and eyes to keep those nasty flies from bugging them. Use these towelettes sparingly at first (one towelette, wait a few days) and see if there is any skin reaction.
As always if you have any concerns, please verify with your veterinarian before using these AVON products on your horse. AVON does not do product testing on animals, so these tips are not endorsed by Avon -- these are tips obtained from actual horse owners. I have a few customers who have horses and they have tried tips #1 & 4 with good success.
