Answer 2

There are alot of supplement products out there that will work on your horses coat, and there are some that won't. And you'll most likely break the bank trying to find them. The supplement I liek to use is GenaCoat. I use it mostly to help durring shedding season, and because my QH has always had a very stringy tail (I swear there must be some appy in there or something), and it has helped with both. However if you are just looking for a shinny show quality coat my best advice to you is to as soon as it gets warm enough clip your horse with a 10 blade (you may want to pay someone if you've never done it before). This will quickly eliminate the dead dryed winter coat that your horse had in the colder months. Then you want to continue proper grooming habits, never batheing more than once a week and conditioning everywhere except the saddle area (don't want you slipping off now). Then I simply add some vegetable oil to their feed. It's cheap and available at any super market. The oil will add shine and luster to their coat as well as lube up their digestive tract and prevent colic. All of this without breaking the bank on fancy supplements. And remember a good daily curry and a brush will do alot! Best of luck!

1 cup of vegetable oil over his feed, if you feed him twice a day, 1/2 cup in the morning and half in the evening. Plus, it's not that expensive and you can by a huge thing of it at the grocery store! It worked wonders for my horses coat, and added an extra sheet of fat over the muscle that made the horse look B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! Also try a rubber curry brush and rub small circles all over the coat to lift up and out dead skin and dirt that gets trapped under the hair, then use a stiff bristle body brush to whisk it all away! My mare shines in the summer just because of this. I also like to wipe my mare down with a damp
warm rag to take away the rest of the light dust the brush didn't get off. Use a white rag and just see how much more dirt there is even after this process!
Plus my mare is an appaloosa and they usually have very ratty, stringy tails but since I started giving her corn oil her tail got thick, beautiful, and shiny. Other stuff you buy in the magazines, and feed stores will bust your checkbook too.

First off, make sure that your horse is on a good rotational worming schedule. Your vet can give you a program. No matter what you feed your horse his coat won't be good if he's loaded with parasites. You'll have nice healthy parasites but not much else to show for it.

A shiny coat doesn't exist in and of itself. It's a product of good care and good nutrition.

A diet that has adequate protein and fats will give a horse a good coat when it's combined with good grooming and parasite control. Each horse's needs are different--some require very little supplementation and others require a lot. The horse's heredity and the work he does determine his needs. Talk to your vet and he can advise you on what to feed your horse to keep it in good condition.

My horse's coat and hooves were as brittle as straw when I got him, which wasn't unexpected as he was severely underweight, filthy, had infected barbed wire cuts , grossly untrimmed hooves, and a load of worms. I gave him oats and soybean oil and sweet feed and kept him on pasture which was predominately timothy with maybe 10% clover until he got to his proper weight, then cut back to pasture with maybe a half pint of oats and only an ounce of oil each day. It worked quite well. He was an appaloosa, though, and many horses aren't as easy keepers. You improve the horse's diet and husbandry to begin with and adjust it until you find what is needed to maintain good health.

Answer 5

a competent, balanced weight-help plan is ultimate. Feeding supplementations purely help if the pony's weight-help plan isn't already balanced. Your ultimate wager may well be to seek for suggestion from an equine nutritionist to work out what your horse's weight-help plan is lacking. some feed companies (i think of Nutrena is one) will furnish a feed plan on your horse for loose. additionally, on a daily basis grooming is amazingly significant. employing a rubber curry comb will help sell circulate which facilitates the coat stay healthful. Brushing with a physique (gentle) brush, facilitates unfold the oils. attempt to evade employing shine products because of the fact they often contain silicon, which dries out the hair and surely makes it much less healthful.

Answer 6

Vegetable oil. Pour it over the feed in the morning and the evening. It will add fat to the diet as well. That combined with a good grooming routine will work wonders.

Answer 7

Lots of TLC for their coat care.
A regular balanced diet, any extra vitamins in different seasons that they need, and lots of water.
But lots of brushing, and grooming is mostly the key, and they love it too. So do we, smile.
It helps to dispurse the natural oils in the skin, and hair.
