How do I apply the leave-in remedy
You can spray the Pony Perfector on your hand and then rub on the ends and dock of the mane or tail and inside ears. You can also spray directly on the coat as a soothing dirt and insect repellent. Some horses don't like to be sprayed near the face, so we spray the treatment into our hands and rub around the face to deter flies.
We love the way it makes our skin smell, too!
The horses that want to be loved on and touched, line up patiently for me to apply oil to the dock of their mane and coat. I massage their necks under their mane and tail with a plastic hair brush (anything with plastic spikes)
- I use a circular and back and forth pattern on their neck and chest.
It's helpful if the mane and tail are damp or somewhat clean to use as a detangler. Product applied to manes and tails that are super dirty will "stick" to the dirt, leaving a sticky feeling.
Why does the spray trigger come separate? Do I need to cut it?
The spray trigger was getting damaged in shipping when attached to the bottle. It is the correct size for the bottle. It is best to have the tube longer so that it dispenses when the product is low.
Does it clean and brighten white hair
YES! We've found the Pony Perfector to clean dirt spots off white/grey horses which helps to brighten their coat.
Do I need water to rinse?
No water is needed to rinse. This is a leave-in remedy. If you need detangling, it's best if the hair is damp. It is mildly cleansing and softening to the hair when damp. We leave it on the horse at our barn, as we don't have running water all season. The neem oil helps to repel insects, so we like to keep in on the horse.
Will it thicken and grow horse hair?
If you apply the leave-in remedy to the base of the mane and tail, it will prevent breakage and promote thickening. As we know, genetics really determines the thickness and length of a mane and tail.
Does it make anything slippery?
Nope. The Pony Perfector is lightweight and does not leave behind a slippery feeling.
How do the essential oils help emotions?
Essential oil molecules enter the nose and go into our limbic system (the feeling part of our brain) during inhalation. For horses, they have considerably higher olfactory receptors, giving them a highly develped sense of smell. They like and dislike certain aromas, too. Calming oils can help decrease anxiety and offer grounding to you and your pony.
Do you sell in tack stores?
We are considering selling to stores, as of now, we're online only.
Why does it feel sticky after applying to the mane and tail?
If the mane or tail are soiled heavily with dirt, the product will stick to the dirt. This will leave a sticky feeling. A mild shampoo wash will prevent this.
