I had actually been doing a hot coconut oil deep conditioning for my ends for a while before a lightbulb went on and I thought "this would be great for Lily's mane and tail"! I get my coconut oil from The Coconut Hut (they also have hundreds of fabulous scents in their Beach Baby perfume,with several coconut varieties of course) I just love their site! Nothing can beat my two favorite scents together........ horse and coconut

hahaha I've been caught using nearly all of my horses' stuff. you name it and I've used it on myself.
I use their hair products all the time xD and I use fly spray anytime they're landing on me a little bit too much. I constantly borrow their mane brushes for my hair and their body brushes to brush dirt and hair off of my clothes and arms. I use hoof picks on my boots when it's muddy..I've used horse shampoo for hand soap and conditioner for lotion..I've even been seen using a dirty horse blanket as a blanket or holding one over my head to protect myself from the rain. if it's good for my horse, it's good for me too =D haha
I tend to feel like my horses are a lot cleaner than I know they really are. nothing about them ever seems to gross me out xD

I use my products on the horses... lol
If you straighten their mane with a straighter,it stays dreadlock free for a few weeks.I use my hair conditioner/shampoo on their manes also.
Love those nice long pretty manes :)

LOL. As long as you are using nothing on their skin. We can never know what is safe on an animals skin or not.
