Reining Horse Mane Care
Reining horses with long, thick flowing manes make a spin look much more dramatic and crowd pleasing. It’s also sure to catch the judge’s attention and gain higher scores. You too can have a luxuriously long, attention getting mane on your reining horse by following these simple tips.
Get rid of your horse comb before you do anything else! A horse comb does more damage to the reining horse mane than anything else. You can keep your horse’s mane maintained and tangle free by using a stiff bristle human hair brush. Apply a spray gloss to your reining horse’s mane such as show sheen or laser sheen to help untangle your horse’s hair.
Once your reining horse mane is free of tangles, the next step is to wash your horse’s mane. You need to be sure that the mane on your reining horse is clean and free of sweet itch or any fungas or mites. Any good horse shampoo will do a fine job of cleaning your horses mane.
If your reining horse is rubbing out hair on his mane, chances are good that there’s a problem. You can treat the mane after washing it. Listerine mouth wash is great for sweet itch, fungas, mites and other problems. I use it to stop all things that will cause my reining horse to rub out hair on his mane. I put the Listerine in a spray bottle, and spray heavily along the roots of my horses mane or tail. Then I rub it in with my fingers and leave it in to do the job.
You can drastically accelerate the growth of your reining horse’s mane by applying a home made growth recipe. With this special recipe, you can expect to achieve up to 3″ to 4″ of mane growth per month.
